Moving in to the garage

Justin,what a difference!very nice.the gauges look good without the tinted ring.your buddy did a great job on the dash.amazing amount of work done in a short period of time

Justin keep up the awsome work there. Very nice my friend..

Upholstery is back and it looks awesome!!! He did a perfect job it is exactly like factory original, every stitch!! I cant wait to get it installed. I mainly worked on wiring up the stereo and perfect pass yesterday and getting the seat bases lined up with pilot holes filled with 5200. Here are some pics

Agreed!!!! I was also very impressed as the entire seat cushion bottom for the drivers seat was long gone and he was able to reproduce it with no pattern to go by. It will be awesome to sit on a seat this year instead of a flotation cushion (it was very red neck).

Pete I also thought you would appreciate that no original parts were harmed in the adding of the perfect pass and those speakers, both boxes are perfectly removeable.

Everything looks great, you have done a ton of work since November, not long and you will be moving out of the garage and into the water.

Very nice work-brings back memories of the '85 2001 I brought back to life in the late 90's-love the engine looks.

upholstery looks awesome!!

I got a local amish guy who did it. He charged me basically nothing. Randy has had work done by him as well in the past and he always does an excellent job. He specializes in boat upholstery. His name is joe gingerich and if you are anywhere NE ohio I reccomend using him. He redid every stitch except the back seat and it was only 800.

Mine is not a silver nautique, just very similar. No silver sparkle on the side its just solid gray.

Andy,
I just took the upholstery to him as I have been working on the boat. He had it for about 6 weeks. He may be busier now I am not sure I bet he would have done the whole job for around 1000. No need to make an appt. I just called him on thursday and took them out on a saturday. You are more than welcome to stop by and look at mine first as it should be identical to yours, also I would be willing to go out with you as its a little hard to find.

I am about an hour and a half from wheeling and I bet this guy is another hour from there. Out by medina ohio. I will give you a call here sometime soon. Maybe tonight if I have time.

Justin, The seats look awesome !!

i sent 2 interiors out to him, (John Miller, aimish guy) i went to pick them up and he said 800.00 so i wrote the check for 1600.00....he said no, that was for both

sorry I didnt give you a ring andy, I was busy installing all of this last night.

Beautiful Job !! Your interior Pops-Those 2001 hulls are great riding boats-Good Luck splashing it

Looks awesome. I love the silver nautiques. The cockpit on your boat looks like its from a jet fighter.

That looks just awesome!!!! You have done some great work.
