The seats for my 20 are from ppi and are perfect. Brandon at valentine did my tiger and it is incredible, dave at xt is doing the rear seat for my 20. As with any trade each city is going to have great craftsman. Lin called me about his topfish and i recommended brandon, same as i have for anyone within driving range. Depending on location you now have the names of 3 that excel in their craft. Another friend i sent to brandon has their chapparel interior there now.

I would think someone in the LOTO area would be able to do a professional job as well. Mike at Fineline does really outstanding work. Seen a lot of his stuff in person.

I wondered as well about shipping interior like engine hatches and so forth how expensive that alone would get. Our area not really known for the top notch custom interior work for boats. I would like to find someone as well but without all the huge shipping costs.

+1 on that, any high end shop probably wouldnt do it without the boat there to make sure everything fits right.

A few from my refresh this winter... The before and after, as you can see the yellow on the floor was the old.

And I couldn't agree more with Dave , any shop will want boat to make it perfect.

Good luck with your search.

I called ppi last week. They did not insist on needing the boat.
I was curious about the contoured , long combing pads on a c.c. and curious how to get them there reasonably and in one piece.
