Well almost.

The upholstery on the pontoon I bought in April is finished - new
Captains chair and sun pad - everything else was re-upholstered.

How do you keep that looking nice?


The boat was very clean itself, but the upholstery was ate up from the
sun. My boy found somebody who would reupholster for $900 and used
the Sunbrella fabrics. Hey - I only paid $1,800 for the boat, so an
extra $900 wasn't a lot for new chair and upholstery.

I gave up on furniture on my pontoon boat years ago. The sun and
weather just tears it up.


Next up is a boat cover - in the Fall. For now, we're using regular
old canvass covers for the furniture.
