A lot of work there Mike.

Do you enjoy interior work as much as canvas?  Matter?

What was the condition of the old foam?  Use it pretty much in the condition as it was or was there replacements or enhancements?

The inside back insert (in green) curious if you had enhance any of that foam?  Some times I have to enhance (or?) the foam with the most use or element exposure.  On the green insert you run the stretch (most stretch if it is bidirectional stretch) along the length to negotiate the inside curves?  I suspect you ran the stretch for most of the vinyle along the width of the seat opposed to "top to bottom" directions.




Cording again, I understand your method of doing the cording (I think with flat feet), do you have the feet numbers of the feet used.  I may have the same feet if they fit the Singer 111W as well?

Last question Mike, what vinyl for this work do you prefer?

I lied, are you going to make canvas cover(s) for this boat?  You mentioned canvas next.

Thread, I suppose you used #92 Poly?

Good work,

Doyle

Same around here too Mike, people want to go fast but they don't want to pay, LOL.

The way you do things, a trimmer has to get some experience to be able to do it.

Lots of judgment involved.  For me to make a decent buck out of the boat work, I have to figure out a very efficient way to do it, can't be on it forever.

I guess all that I do is that way.
