Thanks for the kind words Baggins The mouse holes were an afterthought...... It would have been easier to go with them right in the beginning

Flipping a 15' tri hull ..... a bunch of friends should be able to help you out with that Just do it after the cap is off and its gutted it will be much easier with all the weight out of it! Good Luck with your resto!

Just wanted to pop on and give an update..... We have been taking the boat out and she is running pretty well overall.

I got the order of vinyl and have been making new seat covers.... I'm not going to do a step by step on the seats because it has been done a few times already



Here is the first one I did....I'll post up some pics when more are complete.....I have 4 done and 6 to go

Re: 87 Four Winns 210 Horizon resto

Rick, I recently bought an 89' four winns horizon 200 5.9 omc cobra and the previous owner started what you have completed with your boat. My issue is that i have nothing to work off of as far as templates and so on. THIS thread is going to be in INSANE help to me! thanks so much! I would really like to see how you made your rear bench and motor cover if you have pics and if you could a little info on the vinyl work would be great too! anything else you can think of that you wish you would have had or known in the beginning would be great! thanks in advance!
