Just got the call, all my cockpit seating is being delivered tomorrow. I had one piece done last winter and the rest this winter. It is going to make the boat look awesome with the new upholstery. I saved money this year rebuilding the wood pieces myself and just sent it out for covering.

Looks like a sick day for me at work :D ;)

Seems funny to say but you are going to love your seat! I love mine... The way my TV is situated when I am at the dock I can sit in the cockpit seat and see the TV while catching a nice breeze..

Looking forward to seeing some photos.
Another 20 years before it will look as sad as it did before you restored it:D

I'll post some photos soon, got to do a little cleaning first. I am thankful I shrink wrapped it this year. I have been able to get in and work all winter.

Didn't get much cleaning done, but I did get all the cockpit seating put back in. Man it sure looks good. Prior to launching in early May I will post pictures of the inside and out of the boat. We have pretty much refurbed the whole boat.

Chief, that really looks nice! Great job getting those installed! Looking forward to seeing what the whole thing looks like! If you don't mind me asking, what does something like that cost to have re-done? Again, it really looks great!

$3,000.00, it's not cheap. I'm sure there are cheaper folks out there, but you get what you pay for. Alot of the wood had to be replaced before they could be recovered as it's 20 years old and pretty much falls apart when taking the old vinyl off.

Having those speakers in there are nice, I have an amp going to each sub and another amp for the rest of the speakers. It sounds real good.

Looks like a new one again:)

Given the state of your dollar I can relate to the costs now:facepalm:
$3K would be a reasonable price over here.
