Think I found a local guy that does good work he is semi retired and does it on the side. He has been recommended by a few locals that have had work done. I'll post up pics when it's done and give a review.

Mines worse than that at least you have room to get to most of em lol. My 27 is cramped. I now officially have all the interior out and all but a boulle pieces cut out and to the upholstery shop. The rear seat is done and looks good and the side panels around the back seat looks good too. Dropping the front bolsters off tomorrow.

yeah I think it will be that and my boat was painted but never converted as far as interior color goes so were changing up the color scheme and the way the engine hatch is done while were at it.
The engine hatch will be only two pieces of wood when were done one big piece on the back and the one narrow piece that holds the headrest like most of the newer boats are done. were taking some of the extra seams out of the back seat as well and smoothing it up and everything that was silver in mine will be bright orange everything that was red will be black. the main color will still be white though so it ought to look good with the black and orange breaking up the white. and the headrest will be a one piece almost full width headrest instead of individual ones for each "seat"/person in the back seat.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]519483[/ATTACH] I measured every piece and created a spreadsheet for the sewing. There are two schools of thought on the single backer for the hatch, one being a nicer stronger method , but then you are creating this large balloon effect when running out in the water. I discussed it with the seamstress and she recommended a seam, glued to the hatch . So I decided to go two piece instead of all the long skinny pie[ATTACH=CONFIG]519484[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]519485[/ATTACH]ces
