Just got a photo of the bow upholstery before it gets installed. And all of the wood was replaced with King Starboard. It wasn't exactly what I had in mind but we'll see where it goes.....

Nice! Excellent creative pattern too.

Very nice

Well...... here we are two weeks to Christmas and I STILL do not have my boat back... it's still at the upholstery shop since last June. Does anyone else think that 6 months is a little excessive to re-do the interior of a 20' Mariah 202?

You should check the hour meter when you get it back. They have probably been using the boat.

I suppose they started with the easiest stuff to do like the bow pieces and then when they got to those bucket seats they stalled out. I would think getting the bucket seats really right is very difficult to do. Maybe they've made them trying to use the old stuff as a pattern and then found they don't fit. Even a sundeck would scare me with my limited skills.

I tend to believe that you're right. He's not running my boat around because he has his 30 something foot Donzi parked next to my Mariah. He also has a pretty nice large cruiser moored up in Daytona....
I think that he can do canvas very well, but I'm not sure about the fine sewing that upholstery needs. All in all, I think it's time that I got my Mariah back from the guy....

You definitely do. I hope everything goes well with the upholstery.

Hi All:
It's been a while, but here we are going into February. Guess what? No sign of my re-upholstered boat yet.... We're going into MONTH 8! When I asked for a definite completion date last November, the guy got really defensive and told me that I was close to him throwing the completed pieces into into my boat and telling me to come get it.... Then the cold snap here hit and I decided to leave it for a little bit until the weather warms back up.
I fully believe that this guy bit off more than he could chew and he is a good "canvas guy" and not a really good "upholstery guy"..... I need to call this whole thing to an end before it goes to my lawyer and it gets any uglier.
Let's see where this takes us.....

It really sounds like he doesn't want to do it anymore. So, agree on a partial price, get your stuff and make it a win-win. There must be someone else that can finish it.
