My birthday gift from the wife

Quote Print Post  
So for my birthday, my wife decided to have the Skeeter re-covered. Smiley  Her mothers boyfriend does this for a living and did it for dirt cheap.  I don't want to brag, but it is so very nice and still has that new boat smell, which is hard to come by on an 1988 boat.  He reupholstered all four seats, two of which he completely redesigned including new foam and pattern.  New carpet everywhere and boy does it feel good.  




He made these...

Look like this! Shocked


Sorry for the length, but I feel like a proud father.

Will he consider other stuff? my Nitro has a seat cushion missing and I can't even get a close match (it's the center seat of the three) - I'd love to get a quote for him to make me something, right now I have a throw cushion as a seat bottom - the seatback is still good. I'm also looking for a really deep vinyl cleaner to get the scruffiness out of the seats, might even consider a re-upholstery job too if the prices are good.

By the way, those seats and carpet look really, really cool!!!! Great job.
