Stiching
 

I noticed at the ny boat show the small logo's of "fountain" are not stiched anymore, they are glued , or hot pressed. Has anyone been able to reproduce this on new uplostry? I wouldnt mind adding a one to my new seats if possible without taking them apart. Fountain, inc dosnt respond to emails and the staff at the show were clueless - they were very helpful if I laid a 50k depo down though..

I also notice your transom has the same layout as my 35 w/ exhuast coming out onto the swimplateform. I get the same brown color from exhust. What have you found to clean it up the easist, I have tried a few products but nothing seems to work other than 3m compound, which is a pain after each run.

Re: Stiching
 

I use ON/OFF like Rush said , but i am either going to paint it black or put a thin layer of spray in bedliner type stuff


the stiching was done local for $200.00


I can get you the number if needed. Tom

If you check out my avitar I think this is what you mean. My 29 is a 2004 with a standard interior (no upgrades) and has the bonded logo on the back of the headrest. I was told that Fountain did this to avoid fading and unraveling of the stitiched logos...I actually prefer it the way mine is done...matter of taste and desire. I think it unlikely that an aftermarket shop could do this but who knows?

Re: Stiching
 

From looking at it close it looked like it was pressed on with heat, so could it be done after seats are finished on an older boat with new bolsters?

Re: Stiching
 

g,
I think it was a cost affective option, I like the look of the stiching. From waht I was told they chaged it last year.

Re: Stiching
 

g, How did you get the "ellen joyce" on there..?

Re: Stiching
 

put diferent tail pipes on that are a little longer and be done with it.

I checked into this with Fountain for my hatch cover project, they offered me a cover that could be mounted with the logo "sealed in" as they called it, which replaced the old cut and sewn in logos of a few years ago. Kinda pricey for me $1500 just for the cover of the hatch, that someone else would have to trim and install, but I bet it looks great.

I wound up with an all white cover with a single lightning bolt in red (have red hull) on a diagonal. It's OK but has it's drawbacks.

Re: Stiching
 

Wouldn't the seats still have to be taken apart in order to press on the new style logos?

Re: Stiching
 

I didn't pay too much attention after I heard the price, but believe I was told that the logo was made of different sections of vinyl used a heat sealed seam approach that eliminated the sewing. For Example, you would have a piece of red vinyl sewing to a piece of white vinyl. The new system eliminates the sewing and "bonds" them together eliminating the seam, sorta like "one piece". This was how it was explained to me.

These were not pieces that were pressed into a backing surface, but were made part of it. SO, if I got it right, then you would have to take your seat apart for the "new" back with logo to be installed.
