Justin,
Not saying to go with me but you'll regret it if you go with anything less than what you wanted for your seats. An interior that you love makes a HUGE difference in the way you feel about your boat.

Hey Gavin,
John Read here. I am the one you've been talking to in regards to the 4 seats you going to do for me. I did send the check out today so be sure and let me know when you recieve it. I am really looking forward to the new seats especially with having the two individuals in the rear. Mine are the White with yellow and black.

I didn't realize you were on this site. Thanks for putting up with all the emails....

Take care,
John


PS Everyone, Gavin has been a pleasure to work with and his prices are good. I will post with pics when I recieve my seats.

No problem John. Be sure to send some pictures once they're installed.

I am getting excited to receiving & installing new seats. Will certainly post pics, Before and After. Between the new interior, engine mods, chopped deck and paint it is going to completely transform this boat.

We also do upholstery work. Some food for thought.....

Sometimes the important stuff is where you cant see it. IMO if upholstery price sounds to good at one place compared most legitimate others, there is probably a reason. Granted the more basic you have something the less it usually costs. You just need to watch what you are buying.

A lot of places reuse foam that is shot, or just heavily wrap it in Dacron. It allows it to look good at first but not long term. I can say that you usually get what you pay for. Also like most things there are different grades of materials available out there.. I have also seen some places "forget" to do the piping in the upholstery, mismatch colors & textures etc.. Like anything else there are good places & not so good places.

hey getrdunn, have you gotten your seats back from Gavin yet? I've got a few people in mind on doing my seats and I've even talked to copy cat cover(chris) and got a quote of $1400 if I ship them my seats. Just wanted to see if you'd got yours from gavin and see what kind of work he did for you. if you already have them post some pics if you dont mind. thanks, justin

Hey Justin,It's funny you mention that. I was just thinking that they should be here by now or VERY soon anyway. Check went out 4 weeks ago. I purchased 4 seats from him. My two front ones were pretty much out dated and I wanted 2 of the same in the rear with a small bench dividing the them. I have a ton to do once installed.

I'll be sure and keep you posted.

Thanks,
John
