Following along . . .

I tried my hand at some of the interior upholstery on the 330. I used Eversoft 4 way stretch faux leather vinyl.

I reupholstered the forward berth headboards, the the courtesy seat.
the old floral print trim boards.










Stitched some seating cushions





I think I got the hang of it,
im gonna try the Century seats with maybe a french seam.

I have mine placed to. Thinking about an easy interior gutter to let it go out the sides. Mine is pretty much in a straight line on l
the lower 2 roofs offset.

I would say your getting the hang of it for sure !

I haven't been on the board in a while, looks like you have been busy Zool! I will have to go back and read through your progress!

Been putting the machine thru the paces on all the interior cushions for the 330. I ran thru about 20 yards of the faux leather so far,






This rig is going in 1st this spring, so i got about a month to finish it. The Century cant go in till May when the dock goes back in.

 

[archbuilder]

That looks really nice Zool!

 

[zool]

Thanks Arch, time consuming, but kinda fun when u get going.

 

[kcassells]

yea, You have been Blessed.

Still just doing upholstery and carpet work on the Sea Ray. the weather is improving lately so outside work can hopefully continue soon. The century is launchable as it is, there is just a few days work left once the seats go back in.

Heres some pics of my progress on the cabin.

The v berth bolsters and cushions are back in, as well as new carpet on the frame.



Al the rest of the carpet is complete, ready for the wood flooring. The subfloor is epoxied down to level it all.

Looks like you are moving along nicely! That is a lot of boat!

I am hung up on a "replace the kitchen faucet" project that turned into replace the sink, garbage disposal etc......and of course I wanted to upgrade to a deeper sink.....now I am in cabinet modification to fit the sink mode lol. Funny how it works! Hopefully after we thaw out next week, I will have time to get back to wrapping things up on Fuggly!

Yeah Arch, I live on that slippery slope. Even worse is I have the Admiral looking over my shoulder saying "maybe we should do this too now", which she means, is "maybe YOU should do this now"

The V berth looks way to comfy ..
I don’t think I would get much done after that .. I think a test nap would be in order .. LOL !

lol, I havent even sat on it yet, fraid of getting it dirty before the Admiral see it.

I finished all the cabin cushions and trim on the SR.

I started messing with the Century seats, trying the french seam, a little difficult with the contoured shape, but worked out ok. Used v92 thread on these.

Just the backrest done as a trial.







This faux leather is real nice to the touch,

 

[zool]

Heres the white mostly installed.









Have to get the flooring done next.

 

[archbuilder]

You do good work sir!

 

[zool]

Thanks. just a quick study....Im actually stoked to be able to make cushions.
