Mike - i have a Hurricane - same seats but different layout....last year, I started recovering seats with some cheap vinyl just to see if I could do it, did a couple of the worse ones and was pleased, so I decided to wait and get some good vinyl and do the whole boat. Got sick, had surgery, upholstery got put on hold. I did one of the curved backs. It was a booger. I ended up building a jig to hold it in place while I stapled skins on. I had a hard time getting in about the right place.
How did you do thes dealing with the flimsy back and curves?...they look great. How much vinyl did you use?
Yardage i started with leftover from a job last week and did the capt seat i probly had 2 yards then i ordered ten more and didnt ise it all. About 8 of it The boat was capt seat 2 curved rear backs making sn L 3 L bottoms. And bow two full U shaped urved back and two bottoms. I cut the old skins off and got patterns from them Then when i stapled on the
New i lighned the new seams up with the old ones and Pulled as needed with the old staples still in sticking through the thin plastic is why i get cut.
