Yea one more down demo on the last seat back.
I am up rested and ready for the salt mines.
Now I have a question. I know that doesn't happen often. I am a reader mostly. Since this silly boat is getting redone and looks so much better. Capacity plate. The one in it is a sticker and peeling on the edge faded just looks bad and wont match the boats condition when done.
I found them on E Bay that are metal and NOS.
Question is this can I just replace it with one of those. Just match the persons and weight with what it has now. So if I get stopped and inspected are the coast guard unreasonably Psychotic types. Or will they just accept I replaced it with out a supreme court ruling and a lawyer on board.
Thank you for the compliment.I walked in from my daughter's Christmas concert and just spent the last 1.5 hrs reading this thread. I saw it when you first started it and somehow never made it back.
You're doing great work!
On the capacity sticker. I used this site (below) to make a new replica of the one that was in my boat. The type of work you are doing...you're going to want it to look factory fresh.

Thanks guys.
Yea I wouldn't hold your breath oldrem LOL. This isn't fun to do the main seating and I won't be doing guest appearances. These things made the bow parts look like cake. This is the kind of stuff you do for yourself because it is so damn expensive to have done. But not something I want to do for money. As long as it took me I would go broke quick. But as a wise man told me once. That is why it is called a hobby and not a career.
Yep, know exactly what you say. I had a number of guys that wanted me to make holsters for them after they saw the ones I made for myself. No way I wanted to do that again for any money. Especially hand awling and hand stitching (backside of holsters was over 1/2" thick)
That looks very nice. I wont do car painting for people either. They see the van or the chevelle. They want Earl Schiebs prices and cavelcade of customs quality. I have had people want me to do it for less than the materials cost.[
