Need a couple cushions redone, including the wood. Don't want to pay Christine's prices to have it not match the rest of the worn interior anyway and also don't have the time to do it myself.

Any local suggestions?

Mary Pope Custom Sewing in LV, former GF of Brian Shuffle of Aquanuts fame could be worth a call

I got a place up around Green Lake that does REALLY nice work (they redesigned the interior on Dad's Ski), they were reasonable.

A place in Cary did my Mustang for 1K Kevin but I don't think they do the sub structure I supplied that and reused the foam.

My uncle works there and did my observer seat.

HW, keep me in the loop about what you're going with. Tim told me about his guy that would upholster the soon to be mine 68 mustang for roughly 2k, but given that the benjamins will likely drive out there at some point, this might be an option for me.

The work is awesome, I'll send you some pics Gary. I had the guy do the motorbox on my Tique and he did my buddy's Skier last year. Tight as a drum, proper bolsters, curves, hard corners... beautiful. Doesnt work cheap though, thats for sure. I didnt say $2k though, more like $1500-1800, which included the vinyl, new foam and install. Bases, etc might push the $2k mark, but thats on you (I did all the bases on the Skier). Just the front buckets and back seat (3-piece bottom), no motorbox vinyl on that one. The motorbox from the Tique cost me $500 for the sewing, foam and install circa 2008- I supplied the vinyl. Reid has paid similar prices for his small boats down his way. In my experience, good work doesnt come cheap!

Scott, unless you had original cushions from which to work from (you dont), getting an interior done remotely by a shop that doesnt have the patterns is going to be a huge PITA. Better to let them get their hands on the seats (and/or boat) to ensure a proper fit. Im currently awaiting pics from a MC interior install happening in western MA... prices seem more reasonable but the quality of work is TBD. May or may not be another option to consider.

HW, if you're not in a hurry you might want to consider looking for options to get your stuff out this way, and then the guy might give us a better offer -- especially if we tell him about all of the boats that we have, he'll be set for a while ;)

Tim/Scott - what is the name of the guy in Western MA? I met a guy in Springfield a few weeks ago that seems to do good work. He does classic car interiors but also did boats. He had just completed a teal and white MasterCraft.

I left his business card in my Nissan truck that I just sold...

Scott, I've got the front seats and the rear seat back cushion from the 68 Mustang from CT that are in great shape for use as patterns for the vinyl and foam, for an upholstery guy.   Just Sayin'

UT, wrong style seats! That 68 of yours had its seats and frames replaced with mid-70's buckets.

We had our 96' redone by Cantus Upholestry in Seneca, Illinois. They are a little south of you, but worth checking out. They did an excellent job at a reasonable price. Dan is the owner.

I told CQ I would come out for the pier building party, if you don't find somebody local I could bring them home with me to the amish.
