Why does a 07 even need new skins already?

Probably that Fl sun. You'll experience that too soon.

Actually, all the upholstery is perfect with exception of rear seat bottom. It is sort of a contoured three person deal with elaborate stitching. Several of the seams have pulled out tearing the vinyl probably from stepping into the boat. I have always used a throw cushion to distribute the force when people step into the boat. Not sure if it helps, but my '99 was perfect so I'll continue to do the same on this boat if I ever get the skin from Fountain.

I would guess that anyone who was any good went work for Reggie or Brian or somewhere else.

I spoke with Wyatt he said I would have to send my entire back seat to him and we agreed it would be foolish to ship both ways. I found a local man he did the back seat in less than two weeks matched my fountain rear seat as if it was factory.

Probably why I have not had a return call from Reggie or Wyatt. As good as they may be, probably do not have access to the intelluctal property including patterns, molds, etc. that stayed with the old company. Gail told me today that seat skin should ship Tuesday. Hope she knows what she is talking about! If not, I'll have my local guy do it but pricing was actually cheaper at Fountain.

any decent shop can take youre skins ,and make new ones . especially just bottom back seat .

I am interested in refitting a 1999 35 lightning, is there a way to buy a kit and do the install myself?

If they still have the patterns for a '99, don't see why not. I installed the skin on my contoured bucket back seat and it is not rocket science. Call or email Tony and he should be able to get you the answer. Unfortunately, they did not have the pattern for my cockpit carpet and I will have to make a pattern.

Ordered sun pad & rear seat skins from gail for my 32 ,at my door in 8 days,$1100. very happy.thanks Gail
