This is a boat I am thinking about buying but have not seen it in person yet. Trying to get an idea of what I will need to spend before I make an offer. I think I would go with seadek if the carpet needs replacing.Originally posted by Nautiquehunter View PostLast edited by Jan288; 07-20-2019, 05:46 PM.Comment

FYI prepping for seared for that year boat can be a nightmare.....at least thats what I thought on my 2003 after I pulled the carpet. A lot of sanding and maybe a gel coat where hatches are so you don't see pink fiberglass....I could be totally wrong with this boat. Just thought I would mention it. DComment

I've been handing out these estimates in this range on a couple forums for a couple years and someone will always come back with estimates at half that price. Good interiors are expensive plain and simple.Comment

Why are these interiors so expensive?

High quality marine rated materials are a good part of the cost but the shear labor by someone that has the level of skill required to pattern and sew the covers I would expect make up the majority of the cost. If you have someone that's skilled working an entire week to knock out the covers there's a cost associated with that. Add the materials, equipment and overhead of having a shop and you get to $5K pretty quick.
There's also not a lot of really good shops doing this work anymore so there's the supply and demand aspect of it too.Comment
