I need some upholstery work done on the bow seating of my boat. Does anyone know of a good, reasonable priced shop around the Saint Louis, Missouri area? I have a quote of $900.00 to completely redo the whole area so far but have no idea if that?s good or way out of line. I have included some pics of the area in need of repair. My wife and I have also been thinking about trying to reupholster the seats our selves??.not real sure about that!:confused:

That actually sounds like a good price to me. That kind of work is $$$$.

I'm going to get multiple quotes locally in the next bit. I'm in the same situation as you except I'm looking to drive to save a thousand or so. Everything around here is brutally overpriced.

If I can find a good deal on a reputable upholsterer in the Vegas area I may drive down and hand out while it's done. In the end I'll have saved on the upholstery work and got a vacation out of it :)

The third option is to do it myself and I just found out a friend has a commercial sewing machine :)

Sorry about that...I thought I deleted the post in the general questions.:)
