No Title
The mobile site isn't loading pictures so I'm gonna try and use photobucket to post up some of the interior recovering pics.
Gutted the interior out,
Stripped out the foam from the old seats etc.
Old vinyl and wood was shot, foam was good. I don't really have any pics of the new wood and its pretty self explanatory anyhow, take the old wood trace it on new and cut it out... I was able to reuse the foam from everything except the backs of the jump seats and the side panels, I used 1" for the side panels and 2" for the seat backs.
The original side panels were not with the boat, the PO had done some nasty lookin stuff I'm not gonna show you. Dad and I made these which will look miles better and fit speakers. Actually in the picture you can see what the PO used to replace the side panels. I was looking at putting both speakers in the side panels but I rethought that idea....
I liked the original speaker location under the rear jump seats but the holes were all chewed up and one side had floatation in it so I nixed that location. I had to build a new lower doghouse anyhow as the other one was pretty badly dry rotted so I made the lower doghouse a little bigger and added enclosed speaker boxes. As you can see I used a lot of PL Premium, thats so it doesn't fall apart...
You can't see it but I made the lower doghouse so that the bottom sits about 1/4" off the deck so that any water that now gets into the boat will just run to the bilge.
On the back I wired in a trailer 4 pin connector so I can remove the doghouse for servicing the engine without any wires causing me to rage.
I installed the front speakers in the original location I had selected in the side panels. There are the new side panels, covered and with speaker installed. They look so purdy.
Here is what the new rear jump seat backs will look like..
I didn't sew any of this stuff Just worked the corners and staples the ($*& out of them. I went through about 3000 staples but the interior pieces are all done. I'll get some pictures of it all once its in the boat, its all piled in the spare room right now.
The back to back seats were shot so I just tossed them. The original seat boxes are gone the way of the dodo anyhow with the floor being ripped out. I picked up a set of wise seats online for $200 in pretty stellar shape. They look like these.
Next I gotta clean up the upper doghouse.
