Hopefully front seats and side walls will be in next week.
We then can at least test the boat....Rear seat to follow

Nice choice on the "Diamond" pattern....How long did you think the "project" would actually take and it was in April that you were selecting patterns for the seats - and you are still chipping away perfecting her. Awesome job none the less

Default Seats

My interior guy who does all the work for our dealership
has not been feeling well and its been a long time getting it done.
He is a master at his craft.
Mechanically its ready but can't go in the water to test without front seats.
Hopefully they will be in this week....If I knew this would have taken so long
I never would have done it. The original interior was really nice, just a little faded.

Default The original back seat


You can see the interior was certainly good enough
But I wanted to make the boat like brand new!

try a steamer on the flooring, you may be surprised at the outcome of it.

It is an incredible overhaul and you did pass the point of no return... at least when the final piece of interior is put into place, you can just run the boat and enjoy a job well done vs. hymning and hawing about updating a small project as you will have gone through the boat before actually running into problems on the water
