Hi, all. I recently purchased a 2005 X10 (my first boat). The boat has been well maintained mechanically (with records and all) however the previous owner did not do a great job with the vinyl, on top of it having 15 years of use. So it's time to replace it!
I've found an upholstery shop in my area (recommended by local boat shop) that has quoted me $3500 including material to do the whole job and match it to it's original design. However, I'm not sure I'd like to blindly trust the marine vinyl they intend to use so I'd like to look into what my options are for providing the vinyl (or alternative) material myself. I understand I need about 25 yards for the project but I'll need to clarify with the upholstery shop.
I would love to add value and put something a little nicer/newer in but would also be happy if I just get the exact same basic vinyl assuming it's the same quality and durable. I've read a lot of threads on here but don't feel like I've gained much insight to this. What is a reliable / easy option for providing the material to this shop? Recommendations on a specific style, material, point of sale would all be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
