ideas to replace starflite interior?

[hemibeep]

what is a good way to replace starflite interior? Are most just going to private company? It seems that the seats are very heavy, is there a lighter way to upgrade?
thanks

P.S. what should I expect to spend?

are you talking just the seats? i got a quote for the seats and the cheapest was around 2500$ and that was not original!

decided to work on it myself also the seats should not be heavy

Rebuild the seats yourself. Pull all the vinyl off and have someone copy the patterns. Then, just put it all back together. This will be the least expensive way to go.

Make sure you get the vinyl that has the "fake" stitching in it. This is MUCH cheaper than having all the seams stitched into the face of the seat. It breaks it up. I HATE the look of a refurbished seat that is done in all flat/smooth vinyl.

My Predictor seats i had copied. I rebuilt everything under the covers. This can be done for under $700. you just have to find a seamstress that works for less and who can work with vinyl.

I rebuilt all the seats in my Trimate II . Then took them all in with the original foam and alot of pictures . I paid 1200 hundred to have mine done but it turned out really well. I took mine in to twins upholstery in southgate I believe here in Michigan .







I dont know what happend to this pic but you get the idea lol .






My friends son lol . He loved the Trimate lol

Call the factory for pricing, they might surprise you. If your seats are heavy then the foam is probably wet at the bottom with water(which will take a LONG time to dry out), and your wood is most likely saturated with water as well(which will NEVER dry out). Good Luck!!

I ordered a full interior from the factory, It was under $2k including both bucket seats, rear bench and supports, front seat cushions backing, side pieces, engine hatch inserts/covers, etc... everything - for my bow rider. Not perfect, and yes heavy, but by far the best deal and it's the original 3 color interior that matches the boat. they still had the templates for everything and it came shipped and complete ready to drop in.
