Default Who in Maryland can recover seats matching factory quality 47' excalibur

Like the title says.... I am looking for someone to recover the exterior cushions on my 47' wellcraft (riviera) excalibur in the Maryland/Chesapeake area. I have seen many recover jobs that don't resemble the quality of original manufacturers stitching of seams,fitment of vinyl, etc. Let me know. Thanks!

Shoot a PM to "Spicy" here on OSO. He had a guy redo his Top Gun, and it was fantastic.

Not to hijack but how do you like your Excalibur? Got ours last year and love it!

I love the boat. The quality is awesome. I looked at several formula 400ss and decided that the engine access and poor construction techniques meant the Wellcraft (Riviera) was my only choice. It is a bit underpowered, but for a boat this large with a non-stepped hull, I feel the the performance is decent. The ride is amazing and the amount of room down below is amazing. Some say it is the best hull Riviera has ever had and some would like to see it reproduced with modern upgrades.

I agree on all counts, incredible boat built like a tank. I had 540s with 502 MPI intakes and mild cams last year, estimated 500ish hp by speed, went 35 @ 3500, 40 @ 4000 and 51 @ 4950 full of fuel and 8 people, turning 30p b3. Tried 26p but rpm went up, speed went down and handled like crap, wouldn't carry the bow. One broke so I pulled both to upgrade, should be around 620-640hp this year.
Hull gets up on top at 40 and smooths out, huge difference in ride from 35 to 40- trying to run 40 @ 3500-3600 this year with new power.

It would be great to see it brought back, vacuum bagged with high speed diesels or big power gas.
