herd 2243 how much did it cost to have all those skins made? Which ones did you have made?

RE: Thumbs up to Nautique Skins

The rear deck cost me last year around $415. I also had the rear seat back done at the same time and it was around $375. This was from Nautique Skins!

Whot put them on for you?

[herd2243]

The Rear seat was done just before I purchased the boat last season, I bought the engine hatch (sun deck) skin from Nautique skins, I think is was $409 excluding postage over to the UK.

My local dealer did mine.

I am about complete with my new interior from Nautique Skins. Last item to do is the "hidem" on the sundeck. Soon, I will take pictures and post the before and after shots. I will also give Nautique Skins a thumbs up overall. Yes, being picky, I can find a few minor flaws here and there, but overall quality is excellent. I did the sundeck last and found it the second most difilcult (and with a few minor stitching flaws) behind the driver seat. If I had to guess, I would imagine I have around 40 manhours (and 6000+ staples) invested in installing the skins, but well worth the effort. Also, I will say that whenever I noticed a problem, or had a missing piece (like the hidem for the sundeck) or even when I screwed up on the throttle pad, George would send out the new/missing/replacement pieces right away with no questions asked.

DavidF,

Cant wait to see photos. I saw some of your before from another thread.

I need that rear deck skin!!!!!! Looks nice! Did you add new foam?

[herd2243]

No, I didn’t add any foam, it was in reasonable condition, it did give me a chance to tighten up the hinges, I agree with Davidf it was difficult to get on, it was a really tight fit, but I assume it will stretch in the sun.

[bchesley]

I have had mine on for a year now, and its still tight. Still looks great though!!!

Did any of you guys reupholster your seat bottom cushions too? I am about to order a seat skin for my port corner seat cushion and I am going to put it on myself, so I'm just trying to get an idea of how much of a PITA it will be.

[bchesley]

DavidF did a full set of skins. Maybe he will chime in on the seats. I watched a seat go together and there is two pieces of loose foam to line up. It looked hard to me, but my dealer did it with one try and pretty quick. He did work for Correct Craft for like 15 years so I am sure he had done it a few times before!
