DMB Fan Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Just wondering if anyone could give me an idea on what it should cost to have these seats reupholsterd? I had two qoutes of about 500-600 for driver and passenger sides. It seemed a little high but maybe thats average. Quote
skillet Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Don't know what the "going rate" is. Called just lately and (you're not gonna believe this) the guy said there was no way he could give me a price that I would think was reasonable ... skillet Quote
sdcoll Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 that does seam a little steep to me......your wife don't sew?if you take them seats out and carefully take the seat apart you'll have all the cut pattern and all the material and stitching patterns also,that the hard part but once that's done you put it on just like you took it off.....;but then again i use to do furniture upholstery myself several yrs back so its harder then it sounds i guess.........its a dying trade so the rates are there Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted March 14, 2009 Super User Posted March 14, 2009 Did that include doing the diamond pattern because I would have thought it would have been a little higher if they were going to duplicate what you have. I do my own because it had gotten so expensive to have it done. I've restored a number of cars and boats over the years so I bought me a used, commercial, walking foot, machine years ago. It has paid for itself many, many times over. $100 worth of material and some stainless staples is all that's needed. Quote
basscat1102 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Just had my bench seat in my Pantera done, diamond pattern to match original. $250.00. Gray in color. Skins only of course. Quote
Al Wolbach Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 You may want to check here. They have seconds that may fit your boat. They do many of seats for the origional manufacturers. I purchased new seats from them for my 98 Champion and have been very pleased. http://www.deanstop.com/seats.htm Good luck..........Al Quote
DMB Fan Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks I going to get one more quote on Monday, and I have a feeling its going to be about the same. Boatingseats has some around my budget. Quote
TruckMechanic Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 i am with sdcoll, I done my own and it wasn't that bad. I probably couldn't have done the diamonds thought, I went plain and basic. Quote
sdcoll Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 the diamond tread pattern that i used in the past was already done.the company had bought the material like that either way the best of luck to you Quote
