i emailed them last week, waiting for a response. was just curious if someone has paid a private shop to do it

For someone to re-do all of the vinyl the cost will be between $2,000-$4,000.

If you are willing to do the install yourself...skins run around $1,500

A guy up the street from me quoted about 4k for vinyl and carpet. He does tons of hot rods and restorations. Has been shown in a lot of the classic car mags, so he does pretty good work. He said I would have to leave it with him over the winter.

I had my 205 upholstery redone for $2200 which included a fitted and bound "floor mat" that matched the exact pattern of the floor and keyed into the ski pylon and under dash/into bow so it would stay in place. She did a fantastic job. The next cheapest price for upholstery alone was $3500.

i see you're in the northeast, where was the place that did the work? it might be worth the travel for that cost

She is just outside of Preston, Maryland. Cagle's upholstery. Her family has been in upholstery for 30+ years- she works out of her house. Let me know if you need any additional information.

I found a great guy in northern CT, not far from you. Robert Duncon- He helped me designed the look I wanted. Original but different. I found a computer stiching place in Western Ma as well who copied the MC logo onto swatches , and we used that in various places. Excellent workmanship. He also did all new carpets, and a custome matching boat cover, and captian seat cushion. Wasn't cheap but well worth it PM me if you want to discuss.

The boat just turned 1000 orig miles, so I took a few pics before the hurricane hit. I will post those shortly
