it's a 1977 chris craft viking sport deck, the vinyl was in amazing shape for 34 years of age but he kept it covered when not in use.

I can see it, but that's not always the true test. Grin

about 65 hours or so, 1-2 hours every night. 5 or 6 or 7 hours on every saturday, and a few hours on sunday.

they picked  the color and it was a great choice. the only thing I would have liked to do is change the foam out, I could have really updated the look of the boat. the plywood was rotten and the covers shot, but the foam was reusable, however the style could not be changed it still looks like a boat from the 70's. I had to hand make and hand stitch the buttons (all 29 of them, probably 15 hours) and the seats had to have the straps put back on because the foam was grooved from the old ones.  Undecided

You did good, would have taken me 65 DAYS and it would look like a 6 year old did it.

I'm an upholsterer, and I say that's a pretty damn good job. What did you use for a sewing machine?
