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.

You have to be careful with those too. My neighbor used one when he
went north last summer and when he came back the inside was a science
fair project. Green algae was on everything.
He had a dehumidifier going but something went wrong with it.

I didn't think of that - thanks for the info.

Hmmmm - maybe I'll get the boat cover soonest.
