Mine was customized so my price would not really help you. But just to give you a heads up the wood in the seats had to be redone along with new foam. And I though they were in great shape. They had no rips or tears they were just ugly. Hopefully yours will be ok.

I paid 50 dollars and hour and I supplidthe material, here in lauderdale. They do a great job and do alot of work on some of the mega yachts here. I pay extra for the new foam they use.

Since you are bringing the meat to the butcher I'd be sure to charge a little more than my hourly rate. If you are removing and re installing the pieces though you might get a better deal. Realistically the sunpad alone could run you 1000 , I think the guys here are in line with the 2k to 2700 plus depending on the complexity if the stiching and patterns. I just did a small boat , 2 buckets , rear bench , sunpads , and some misc trim. Had 45 hours in labor and the customer brought me all the pieces and re-did the rotted wood himself. Did my 29 scarab over this fall , had about the same time in that and didn't do the hatch/sunpad. Bolsters had a LOT of stitching! Wood was all rotted under the rear bench. Think I had like 200 in marine ply. At 750 you won't get what you want I wouldn't think.

I think I paid about $400 for the sundeck, I brought the cut piece of starboard to him. He supplied the foam and vinyl.
I paid about $375 for the rear seat, I had the the whole rear seat built, just took it to him for upholstery, and the embroidery.

im paying 6k to make this look like this. the whole cabin is getting new skins also including headliner. dash will be repainted along with new gauges. im paying for the gauges and sunpad cig logo but the rest is covered in the price. probably overpaying.
