Yepper.. I really like it... I am so sick of that Marine Blue.

I would have liked a pattern, but it was kind of a trade off job so I could not look the horse..

Looks good, Ray!

This is the fabric I bought on Ebay, but sold the boat before getting the cushions recovered. My buyer liked the fabric and found a lady who did the recovering for $40 per cushion. He sent me a pic of the main salon cushions and they look great. But, I'll let him post pics and tell his story. He's doing a great job cleaning up the hull and getting it ready to launch (this Friday we hope):

Nice cushions Ray and I like the color. Also good to see that I'm not the only one whose boat looks like a tornado came through during a weekend outing.

&lt;&lt; Are those Depends &gt;&gt;



Harharhar... anyhoo... I put pine tongue and groove boards at the front of the stove area after removing the stove, and left a screw up on either side to hold trash bags. That is a regular grocery plastic bag for trash.

I had everything pushed to the back for the clean shot forward.

Before I found and bought the blue fabric, I was originally searching for a green color. I only found 1 on ebay, or in local stores that I really liked, but it was a 1 yd remnant and the seller didn't have any more. I bought it anyway, to take to stores later or to make a cushion:

The color is closer to jade green. This was the pic on Ebay:

I would have preferred green, but when I saw the blue and it was less than $2.50 per yd, I bought it instead.

When I bought it two years ago, my wife and mother in law made this new cushions.
Well, I just cut the foam :-)



Seating was made from 10cm pretty hard foam and back is from 8cm softer foam.
If I would do it again, I would choose softer 8cm foam for all seating.

We picked up our new cushions about a week ago. They were sewn by "Friendly Foam" in Seattle with fabric that I supplied.



The fabric is Sunbrella Dupione Pacific Blue furniture, with a grey marine vinyl on the backs. The Dupione fabrics have a nice texture that we liked, and we were torn between this color and the "palm" which is green. We love how they came out and they were a perfect fit.

These all look terrific. Do you have to worry about a water resistant/waterproof fabric when recovering?

I think piping and tufting helps. I used cadet grey Sunbrella.
I made short back cushions so people's butts could sit a little
further back and so the settee would be a skosh wider when
lying down. I have always felt the settees are too narrow.
The new shorter backrests allowed the old back rests to live
somewhere else, hence the wall cushion in the quarter berth,
which makes it much warmer when sleeping.

I wasn't creative enough. My fabric was available in green too, and I really like it.

My tables were an attempt to be able to leave them up, even with my custom bed out in the salon.

My "end table".


my short full table... it used the old table leg. It was the top of a teak table from ebay.

This picture looks so sharp, Frank--you can get away with carpet like that? I'd think it would just be getting wet all the time
