REDO OF UPPER AND LOWER SEATS AND CUSHIONS

[whwells]

SEA KNOLL cushions and seat covers are showing some age. Thinking of new covers and cushions for both upper and lower stations. Has anyone undertaken this project on the 36 Express Trawler series? Hoping to get this going after the Holidays. However, before I raise another costs with the First Mate I need to think about how much.
May also install a complete enclosure up top as well. She now only has the conv.. top cover. I am not sure that any of the stainless steel will be reusable. Any costs estimates out there?

I cant actually give you an idea of price in your area, but I know when I was looking to have the plastic replaced on my rear curtains I got three quotes from local guys, ranging from 1500 to 275. I ended up rolling the dice on the 275 as he was a local guy, seemed trustworthy, and got a good recommendation from not only the marina owner but a few of the slip holders as well. The job turned out great for the money (honestly looks better than some other boats curtains from the factory) and I couldn't be happier. the point of all this is call around to local guys, and get some recommendations from the marina or other slip holders. I think you will find a pretty wide range of prices.

Howard, I reached out to Bristol Cushions (now known as Bristol Yacht Interiors. He is checking to see if they still have the templates for the 36ET cushions.
