Boat Upholstery

Post by Teachers Pet »

Looking for recommendations for boat upholstery in/or near south Georgia. Need a bow cushion refitted and some stainless snaps on flip-flop seat back.

There is a guy in Camilla behind the P and C bank. I believe it's Jone's Upholstery. He does a good job I hear but he's expensive. He wanted over $500 to do the two seats in my center console. I bought the materials online and did it myself for $130. Of course it looks like too but it's a fishing boat.

If you can contact the boat manufacturer they might be able to help by giving you the name of the company that made the original cushions. I did that with Parker and they gave me the contact info for their cushion provider. I got all new cushions for half the price an upholstery shop offered to cover the old foam for.

One thing I can tell you. If you do have a shop do it and they do not use Monel staples, WALK AWAY!

I had a cushion covered once and the guy said "The galvanized staples I use will not rust."

B/S!

One year later, they were all about rusted out!

PS: Stainless staples WILL rust also!
The more I know about something, the more I know that I did not know as much as I thought I knew that I knew.
