Call Jamie at Cutting Edge… 941…916…8333
He's over in Punta Gorda…
He mainly does high end boats. But hell, with a $7500 budget for skins only, I'm sure he can help you out… And get you Yellow..

Buying OEM parts can often be very expensive in the boat industry.

Most boat builders do not make the upholstery themselves. So you have the make-up from the upholstery shop to the builder, then the mark-up from builder to dealer, them mark-up from dealer to retail customer.

Mastercraft stocks vinyl for 7 years back. I believe it has something to do with warranty or recalls. They do cut and sew in-house.

Sounds like that dealer wants list price. Check with other dealers to see if they gouge less but I would be looking aftermarket, especially for a rental.

I'd tell them to shove their vinyl up their wife's vagina and send her over. Then offer 50 bucks for the whole package

Dealer says Monterey forwarded bid request to the vendor, will call when he has info.

Today, info came.....

For the record.....

Engine hatch
Removable walk-thru
Two back cushions
Three rear seat cushions
Two bow seating backs
Two side pads at bow
One bow pad
Three seat cushions

I just asked for skins. Not baby seal, not silverback gorilla, not Puma......

Factory, vinyl skins.

Not installed, just shipped.

$7580.68 plus tax and shipping.

Huh? Is this virgin angel vagina lining?

Oh.....and "original vinyl and yellow accents not available.....will be CURRENT material and colors"

Phuckin boat is yellow! How am I gonna put a red interior in it.....at any price?

Any idea who the vendor is?.......or who can do it "right"
Call me and I will get you straight...I am a Monterey dealer up North.
