Can't say I did. The place is I had it done is pretty cool. They are nothing but upholstery. It's better than when we bought it. It's the top of line vinyl by Morbern, called ambassador. Took nearly 7 months, but at least I can see the finish line.

The doghouse base looks great.
I did mine in PVC so that it would never be a problem again.

Looking back on it, that's a great idea. Ended up spending more than I wanted and I still have the chance of rot.

More pics to come. I'm about a month behind schedule, but at the worst it'll be ready by the 4th.
Coming along nicely and looking good.

Jet,
In short, 87 Sunsport. 656hrs. Lots of rot and pretty much a solo project.
Seperated the hull/deck, fixed the bad wood. Installed new carpet and had all the upholstery re-done. Bought a new shaft, strut, prop and finally had to admit defeat with the rudder, so I bought a new one as well. I have lots of pics and I'll start posting them again.

Reading these threads almost makes me want to rebuild mine again. Almost. (Ok not really.... it's just super cool that there is no a resource where you can see how something should have been done! When I did it I just sort of stumbled my way through it and can think of at least 10 things I should have done differently.)
Same here,
Can't believe how many times I said "Why in the world did I do that??"
Stupid alert:
Began riviting the hull/deck back and although I knew it would be a lot of hours and tweaking it went back actually ok...until...
During my time having the hull seperated, I braced everything except the bow section. I never would have guessed that area could drift inward. I now have to buy a jack bar and somehow get it underneath the front section of the bow to push the sides out. Make sure you brace the entire hull if you're considering doing this.
