I had to use a flashlight in the cabin, but I saw the potential for this boat and the price was very right! After going over every screw, light and system from bow to stern for the last two months, it was easy to see that there was absolutely NO PM done to this boat over the last few years. The seats were all wet when I first saw it and the lighting inside the warehouse was not very good. The boat had been in storage in a warehouse for about 8 months and it was stored uncovered! The marina just took a hose to the entire cockpit to wash off the 1/4 inch of black soot on the seats just minutes before I got there to inspect the boat. I will check through the speaker hole for the fasteners for the side pad tomorrow.WishtoFish, No, i didn't notice the painted seats.
VINYL BOAT SEAT PAINNT HOW TO
Any ideas or tricks on how to remove this side pad? The plywood base of this pad is rotted pretty bad and I would like to replace the piece of plywood if I can. I do not see where or how it is attached to the port side of the boat. Just the side cushion above the lounge looks like it might be tricky to remove.
VINYL BOAT SEAT PAINNT PRO
Maybe it's time for me to learn how to reupholster like a pro (ha ha)? The lounge and helm seats (front and rear) look pretty easy to get out of the boat. I hope the 303 can save them for more than just one more season. But I HAD to do something! The seats were pretty much ruined by the paint and poor prep job performed on the vinyl before the paint was applied. Thanks Dennis and Phlorida for your comments and suggestions! I was afraid I did some damage to the vinyl by using such a harsh chemical because of the "feel" of the vinyl after I was done. I know not to use Armor-All, so does anyone have a suggestion for a vinyl protection product that will bring back the semi-shine of new vinyl? Has anyone else come across anything like this? What did you do if you did?. I need to apply a leather conditioner of some kind. Only thing is the seats are totally unprotected and they look dull (no shine at all) and they seem to pick up dirt very easily. So now, after a gallon of Acetone, over 2 dozen white terrycloth rags, and 6 hours of elbow grease, the seats look AMAZING. I noticed at this point that All of the seats had a dull gray/white appearance and no amount of scrubbing with Spray Nine, 409, Clorox or any other vinyl cleaner would bring back the white/white color of the new vinyl seats. The finger print came off along with the paint that was on the seat :wow. Nothing would take out the grease, so I tried some Acetone. I discovered this today while trying to remove a greasy finger print from the helm seat. When suddenly.Can you believe it? The idiot PO actually used that vinyl spray paint to paint every seat in the boat:smt021. Today is launch minus 2 days so I started the cleaning process. I purchased a 1997 240 DA in March and have been working on it ever since.
