I've done it in the past as well, and currently am finishing my own custom deck extenstions/storage for my "new to me" 618.
As stated before if you are "handy around the house" or "backyard mechanic" type person, it is a fairly easy job. Have a little patience and if you have some basic tools you can do it. A nice side benefit is having pride in the job when you've finished, and also having some extra cash from not paying someone else to do it.
Some good technical tips above. Lambeu did an awesome job on his old Ranger. Begin with recovering a smaller piece, like a hatch cover, and work your way up to larger items. This will help you build confidence in working with the products. It's actually kind of fun.
Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions, I'll do what I can to help you out.
There are also some good tips and images out on www.bassboatcentral.com on a page they have for reconditioning boats. |
