Looking for: Boat Upholstery and Seating builder
Jun 26th, 2011 at 7:53pm
 

I'm about to buy a new boat, and i'd like to make some changes to the layout of the seating.

I'd like to have some cushions made to fit the benches that are there, and i'd like to add come benches on the sides.

if you can do this kind of work, and do it WELL, please email me and we'll discuss the details.

i'd like the bow seating padded like the first picture below, and some bench padding added in the rear.

Currently there is no padding in either location, as they are currently live wells. I want to maintain the ability to remove the pads so that i can place my fishing chairs back in their holes, or use the livewells, so i'd like something that is sectioned like what is pictured

I'd like a rough estimate of the cost to do this. I don't expect it to be exact, but i'd like an idea of how much cash i'll need

thanks all!

get ready to bend over and say is that all.  Just remember you pay for what you get.  good luck.  always remember that if you can build with wood then you can build the forms.

I haven't heard of anyone here that handy, but hopefully someone can point you in the right direction.

Check out Blanchard's Upholstery in Lakeway. He is always busy and I know the owner comes out to your boat to bid a job. I don't have much experience with him but everyone in the Lakeway area knows him.
