Re: Bayliner Capri bowrider interior restoration and reupholstery

That is the HIN (hull identification number) not good with those other than year. Can you get a full on side shot then we can figure it out - also (in ft not meters) how long?

Ok ill get some photos of exterior tomorrow for you

oven cleaner sometimes will take it off. also compound mixed with laquer thinner . nice work! I gave a bid on the exact same model of boat to redo the upholstery 7100. us. its a ton of hours to sew all the double welt cords and colors. it was in a lot worse shape than yours

Thanks Ill give it a shot! Sweet, good luck with it

OK pretty sure that would be a 2050 model number. I had a '90 2050 it was the newer Euro style with lots of rounded edges and different windshield. The 5.0 engine was the base model if I remember, the 5.7 was the upgrade which I did not get. The hull should be similar so I'm sure you will like the ride - I could stay on plane at about 18 mph, top end (loaded lightly) about 38 mph.

Yeah I do like the '90s shape capri. Sounds good! Im sure itll be good enough for the summer! Will most likely keep it for a season and then get something a little bit less old

I like old - mine below is a '79. Seems like the older I get the older boats I buy are.

Fair enough, well im pretty young so that explains why I want a newer boat after then i guess

Never got round to posting an update yesterday so here we go! Having finished the bow seats I started on the fold out driver and passenger seats now

There made out of 4 parts both the back rest and the bottom part are the same as on the opposite side, so i took it apart and started labelling them up and disassembling them

 

[dovydaz]

Re: Bayliner Capri bowrider interior restoration and reupholstery

Heres one finished!

and the rest on their way to be completed

 

[dovydaz]

Re: Bayliner Capri bowrider interior restoration and reupholstery

All 4 backrests complete now now going to try redoing the bottom parts

Heres how they looked before:

Dovy; definitely tagging along for this one!

I've started a complete restoration on an older boat which did not have any seats at all and I want something similar to yours on either side of the engine bonnet.

BTW, I've a real good friend from London by the name of Terrance. If you should run into him, please tell him I said Hi! JK

Cheerio!

Re: Bayliner Capri bowrider interior restoration and reupholstery

Nearly finished all the bottom parts now! heres how one looks (its not stapled on so its all loose )

Re: Bayliner Capri bowrider interior restoration and reupholstery

Now started to take apart the rear sun pad area and reupholstering all the leather
The flip up part was completely rotten so the wood will be replaced as well
