Bought the boat a few years ago and the interior was trashed, never could understand why people don't take care of their boats (but that's another topic for another thread).

Bought the marine fabric at a car upolstery shop that was discounting it @ $5 a yard... about $60 worth. A lady at work did the sewing for free (she enjoys doing this stuff)... so for $60, another $60 for 8 feet of carpet and other small misc items this is what it looks like.

That's impressive. Doing your interior for $60 is damn near impossible, let alone having quality seams and piping. You owe that lady dinner or a gift. She did you a huge favor.

Yes.. she's amazing.. doing the seams correctly among other things... she took off all the material and made templates with the old stuff, lots of skill and magic as I watched her do it. When she finished the captains chair I was simply amazed.... she even made that elastic pocket on the side.

... she does work for me so along with nice gifts (cash) I treat her well Smile

That's such a cool looking color for a boat interior. Nice work.

Awsome job on the interior, I'm loving the blue! My dad and I did put a new floor in an carpet and interior, but did not look half as good as that, congrats on fixing it up. Damn those people who don't take care of their boats.
