What is upholstery worth, just the material?

Much less than the labor! ...if you do a google search you can find prices...there are some very cool choices these days! I just dropped seats off yesterday and saw a bunch of cool vinyls.
On the net check out Garys upholstery....good prices and selections. The local shop here , had stuff I had not seen before on the net...metalics , brushed alluminum and carbon fibers...funky stuff....I decided to put silver and black in a 72 orange SN.The stuff has a metal like sheen. |

Im going to be told Im paying too much but on the interior going in my boat it will be white with a light blue strip and a dark blue strip with black piping. The seats will all have a little correct craft emblem sewn in, Im paying about 4000$ for all work done recovering and so on. When I was looking into interior prices and researching I found you pay for what you get. Hope this helped a little

I am sending my 82 Nautique in on Thursday to get the seats and carpet done. I live 30 miles North of Dallas and I plan on sharing my photos with all when I get the boat back and then I will let you know how much I paid. I know they say you get what you paid for, but they also say, "You got ripped off."

I hope Im not on the end of you got ripped off. If the quality is there and craftsmanship is too I wont be that upset if its a little high. I also had all the wood replaced that goes along with the front and observers bench, now you got me thinkin its too high crap.

Im not sure what year your boat is (which would indicate the complexity of the interior), but $4k may not be a bad price. Once you consider the true factory skins (with embroidery), foam, seat bases and installation, that number could be pretty reasonable. My boat has a lot of interior skins (compared to some of the older boats). The quotes I got for original stuff was in the ballpark of $2500 + $1200 for the foam and install. |

Well, I tried to post the home page for the Raider Nation. I guess the file size was too large. Orange(Broncos) is probably the most despised color. BKH |

Hello,
I'm a newbie on the forum... great information! I'm redoing the upholstery in my "new" 1986. You might want to check out www.rochfordsupply.com for marine vinyl. Good selection, service, and price. I also bought an old industrial sewing machine off ebay, and I'm teaching myself to sew. It's not that hard if your handy. I'm replacing some wood and foam also. Vinyl costs = $150 (15 yards of 54" goods) Sewing machine = $250 Wood = $100 Foam = $125 ------------ Total = $625 plus alot of labor But at the price of vinyl... I can do 2 or 3 interiors as my skills increase. Thanks for all the great info! Joe D |

1998nautique.
Take a look at my boat in this thread. I was quoted $3000 for all new wood, foam and vinyl. No way I was going to spend that much on a boat that old so I had Midwest Correct Craft make up the skins and I did the rest, they used my old ones for patterns. That cost me $950. Plywood,staples, screws, fiberglass and resin, and some foam cost me another $250. Took a lot of hours and covering the motorbox is a real challenge. Glad I did it, learned something new and saved some money in the process. |

My boat is a 77 but after I got looking at the price Im paying it makes sense cause I got all new foam and I had custom combing pads installed along with arm rests that go along the back seat with a stereo remote control installed and cup holders. So that is alot of work and custom stuff always costs alot more than factory. thanks you made me feel better. |

Ok my boat is still in the shop. I am paying $1,100.00 for the seats and arm rest to be recovered, with some new foam in the driver's seat. New carpet and a sheet of marine plywood for a piece of the floor and the battery cover. I can't wait to get it back. So it sounds like all of us are in the same boat on the pricing.

I'm in a similar situation. Lots of homes on the lake in my hood, just not mine. We have family in Tyler and get down there a couple times of year.
