Title: my deckboat upholstery
Post by: Mike on January 31, 2016, 07:04:56 pm
last month I picked up a 99 deckboat. it wasn't selling do to the condition of the seats so I got  a steal of a deal I didn't let if known I was in the bis till after the deal when I took my truck to go tow it home.   
anyway I always plat it safe and go white with stripes ect. but decided to fo tans like the new boats. and went lighter color where I would be dark and darker colors were I would be lighter playing it safe. im happy with the look. so I worked Saturday and sunday and got most don't cut the captiand seat one seat bottom and the coaming panel by the helm.  I was thinking of maybe flipping it .
but well see

In cognito huh!
Cool truck to, what make was it Mike, are you keeping your red one.
Them poor fellers wish I had a pic of there faces shaking side to side when you headed out, the big I told you so, no I told you.
The Deck boat is a score for sure, I like the colors better also. I had a couple with some chocolate and white and then tan and brown, gets to dang warm.
Whats that about 24' on the boat looks long and like the stainless bimini structure is that 7/8
I guess your going mercury shopping shortly right : )
good work there

I wasn't sure if I lost my touch, thought it was a GM the grill had me puzzled, nice looking ride. My brother also picked up one like that but haven't caught up with him yet.
I'm curious on the back glass cover material, ive seen some and considered it I'm still in single cab and that could be great in a couple ways.
That sunbrella looks sharp, is that in the 9oz. Seems several are doing the blend and tweed like. I seen another in that sunbrella in Ohio, really looks sharp.
have a good day
