Bad Upholstery a Deal Killer?

[ScottinAZ]

Im the king of buying cheap boats and spending more than they are worth on repairs. As others have stated, that appears to be a deckover, and a **** poor one at that. As for the upholstery, if you can do it yourself, then its not a deal breaker, if you have to shell out for it, be prepared to pay a kings ransom for a decent job. I do most all the work myself, so my "projects" are more to keep me busy than save any money.

Yeah, I know. It's and old glass boat. Well past it's prime. The floors are bare though so no hidden rot. Thing is the upholstery looks pretty worn out. Any idea what it could cost to get it redone? I've made covers for some snowmobile seats, if I bought a decent sewing machine would this be a DIY project maybe?

It has a Force 85 on the back and I can get it for less than a thou. A good buy or a hard pass? Sorry, but I'm pretty much a noob, bought my first boat last year. Looking to upgrade to something with a steering wheel.

RUN! That old of a boat, drill transom to check for ROT. Seat cosmetics is the least of your worries.

as far as the seats go... also consider the condition of the material (likely wood) from which the seats are made
