A man have to dream, Im sure you will get one.

Absolutely or buy marine treated wood. Paint would be a bit cheaper.

Heck the plywood I used has been sitting out in the weather for 10 years and is still good. CDX

Yea i will definitely do that next time. This was a quick fix to get my boat back in the water

Do you have any recommendations for videos that show the best way to do this?

Excellent tips

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!!

Yes there are many other things I could've done to make this project even better, but I did a quick DIY seat recover with materials that I had quick and easy access to. Thanks for your suggestions.

I believe I ordered 4” thick foam but there are different thicknesses and different stiffnesses. You’ll have to find out which one best fits your application.

@Donny Dez Thanks!!

Same here. I am just going to get some bolts with a flat head and drill holes through the plywood, stick the plywood up to the fiberglass, mark the new holes and stick the bolts through before I wrap them. Then stick the whole thing on and put locking washer and nut on the bolt from inside. Luckily I can get inside my hull fairly easy.

I think I am going to have to make a video showing how they are attached.

Also how did you attach the seats as well

Good recommendations. I used what I had quick access too. There are metal brackets that are angled and I cut square holes to match up to the brackets and it slides right down onto the brackets.

I used the 4in I believe.

You should. It was actually easier than I expected it to be.

@@TheAverageJoe24 I'm about to order my vinyl and will let you know how it goes.

Good luck, hope it goes well!

@@TheAverageJoe24 how expensive is the vinyl?

@@splash5974 I've found it from$7.99 to $30 a yard.

You can see in the video that the boat has small metal brackets down the side of the boat where the cushion back goes. I cut small square holes to match up with the brackets and when I mount it, It slides right down onto the brackets.

I used just regular T50 staples which probably isn't the best staples to use, but it was a quick DIY so I wasn't too worried about it. I believe they make stainless steel upolstery staples that would be better to use.

Yes Bread cutter/Bread knife

10yards and it was more than enough.

Yea using plastic backing instead of wood is a great addition to the longevity of the seats.

I would like to no also about how you did the back boards please

CoCo BiZoU I never got a reply from him so I just did it myself. All I did was pull it tight and staple. At the corners it took a couple tries to get the creases looking good but I finally got it.

I used the existing brackets that are mounted on the boat and just cut square holes in the plywood.

No they had a hinge, but I removed the hinge so that I could access the compartment underneath easier.

No its vinyl so water just beads up and runs off.

Never got your answer. I hate channels that don’t respond to questions on their posts. I just asked again let’s see if it gets answered. 😂

Velcro

I used the existing curved brackets mounted on the boat and cut square holes in the wood for it to slide down on. Almost like a french cleat but with a metal bracket and a hole in the plywood.

Claudia Villa I purchased the foam and the vinyl off of Amazon. There’s a link in the description that will bring you to the products that I used in this video.

Not long. Got the whole boat finished in a few hours.

I have the same boat...just take them off the track and lay flat, then you can work from there. I did mine last year, very easy.

@@slickfixjeff Sounds like a good idea, maybe the *only* idea,thanks for bringing it up; The boat sat uncovered outside for some 12 years before i got it last year, and some of the wood in the seats is also rotted on the bottom of the backrest and on the seat itself, so i'll have to reproduce some of the panels too, it's gonna take a while; thankfully,the (seat) boxes are sound; the floor panel over the aluminumtank i replaced already At least,the engine and drive i did already, like new now,(i am a mechanic-cars and some boats too, for 25 years); and then i sold them both,installed them in the customer's boat,and took his pair as core,to make like new again; but in the meantime i installed a 1992Turbo Diesel Iveco 2.5 TD engine, all checked out,will use the same Alpha 1 Drive; it already ran for a few hours,on land,to check temps and vibrations,noises,gauges,tach ( signal comes fron the Alt.AC) etc; need now to take it to the water to check things out, adjust power (very easy to adjust the fuelling,it's a mechanical pump),turbo PSIs, prop pitch, EGTs,etc.

4 inch foam.

I didn't attach the bottom seats to the boat. They just sit on the base. I used the existing brackets to mount the seat backs. I cut a square hole in the wood and the bracket was screwed to the boat and angled up. I slide the seat back down onto the bracket until it bottomed out.

3in and 4 in

I used 4in foam.

I ordered 10 yards and it was more than enough.

3 or 4 in

​@@TheAverageJoe24thank you

Life got busy, I bought our family business, had kids, etc. BUT I am back to making more videos!!! and responding to the comments on my videos!! Haha

I was wondering the same thing

@@enamstarwalker I’m still wondering. I think on mine I’m going to put speakers that light up so I can look like a floating strip club

@@vtecbanger3180 I've noticed this same question was asked quite a few times in the comments on this guys video, and he dodged pretty much every single time someone asked it lol

@@enamstarwalker I’m in the automotive field and we do interior stuff too. I’m also creative and think ahead. That being said I’m still at the drawing board

He said he used Velcro...

Laney Laughlin bottom side drill holes so when you sit the air can escape. If not the sides will blow out. Cover the holes with those little ventilation discs.

@Absolute Rideshare that’s awesome!! That’s the whole point of my channel!! Inspiring people to be a DIYer!!

What else you doing tonight?

Seat backs were mounted using the existing brackets that were on the boat already. Bottoms weren't fastened at all so that I can access the compartments underneath with ease.
