Want to get my upholstery redone... Suggestions?

[Detonate]

@maboat I wished I snapped some picks of them removed. The screws are all near the bottom, so you just reach your hand under and take them off. The top part is secured by hooks.

@DoubleTrouble if you have a number, I can add them to my list...

It looks like The Upholstery Shop is the same place as the first link I posted earlier (http://www.upholsteryfortworth.com/)...It looks like they have 2 locations.

I'm planning on making the calls tomorrow (Detonate meant that he was going to have me make the calls this week ). Anyhow, I have 5 shops on my list: Browns Boat Repair, ASM (from Fast N Loud show), The Upholstery Shop, Stitches and Staples Upholstery and Poseidon Boat Restoration. Keep your recommendations/suggestions on upholstery places coming.

Are some of the ones I had bookmarked. I had a few from Craigslist bookmarked, but the listing are now gone. I'm sure they have been reposted.

Oh yeah! They are on our list.

Actually went by there last weekend, but turns out they are only open Mon-Thurs.

Quotes are coming in at around $3k to $3.5k for the whole boat, including chairs, and the extra cushions for the bow and aft areas...

Going to take everything to shop tomorrow and get a more accurate quote.

Here are some pics to see how you take them seats off...






This last one was officially the biggest pain in the ass!!!! Anyone that has tried to tighten that cleat can attest to what a pain that is. Well that last screw is just a tiny bit further than that....

Ooooweeee...it'll be nice time to really clean the crud out from behind those cushions.

Funny - that's exactly what I was thinking...maybe worth taking off the cushions just to clean...

 

[maboat]

At the very least, if you happen to have the cover off of your boat anytime soon, can you grab me some interior pics of your upholstery?

I'll snap you some pics at noon today

 

[Detonate]

Cool.

If you take some pics of the stuff you might want to have restored vs. replaced, I can talk to them about that while I'm there....

If you need a place to upload the pics, I can give you a public directory on my OneDrive.

Good idea. None of my cushions that need repair are bolted down. They are all white, no textured grey and no piping. But I'll be sure to get pics of the grey and piping for your reference.

 

[Detonate]

Mo' pics, Mo' better. I'd like to replicate the '06 OEM look as much as possible. Including the texture material in the dark grey areas...

I have always want to get neoprene seat covers for all my seats, wonter who would make that

 

[Detonate]

I've used The Upholstery Shop in Lewisville for my bimini and mooring cover. I know they told me they can do the rest as well. Might be worth a call at least.

So that's who we've ended up going with. Although we are using the Fort Worth version...

Final quote ended up being $2,500 plus tax, and that includes every single piece from the boat, including the seats...

That is 100% inline with what I wanted. I asked them if they do custom boat covers, but no go... At least at the Ft. Worth shop.... Might have to call Lewisville for that...

 

[DoubleTrouble]

The Lewisville one does for sure. Because my mooring cover was a 100% custom job.

 

[Detonate]

Well, the order is in!!

I'm going to have the whole boat redone in Spradling PERMAGUARD® vinyl. It's supposed to be extremely stain resistant, so we'll see.

I chose:
ZAN-3104 OFF WHITE
ZAN-3112 PEARL GREY
BEL-3311 DOVE GREY

I took a bunch of picture of @maboat 's boat for reference. I didn't find a pattern that I liked enough for the Dark Grey areas, so I went with just more of a textured look there.


This will be a huge difference from my 2005 model which was just a blah flat look with grey on red, so I'm super excited! They are also going to copy all of the piping from the 2006 model, which my model has none. He showed me a sample of the piping that was just a grey color in between the 2 I had chose. Looked great!

Little nervous about the choice of Off-White vs. Brilliant White, but in the samples he had they looked almost identical.

That is going to look great Jim! Pretty good life out of the old vinyl too, and $2.5K is a great buy on a full restoration! I like that texture as well. Can't wait to see the finished product!
