Some boat repair questions

Featured Replies

I have a 2000 Nitro nx 750dc. have 2 projects i need to complete on this boat .

The first is to recover the middle seat. the picture was when i first bought the boat and has got much worse. I was wondering if you thought it would be better to try and recover it or just buy a new one. I have never recovered a seat before so i have no experiance.

The second is carpet replacement. You can see in both pics a whiteish area that has now started to peel up. I was wondering how much trouble it would be to replace the areas that are peeling. I don't want to do the whole boat (meaning lids) . I have done carpet installation on houses before and didn't know if this was similar or not..Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Know that boat carpeting is a time consuming job but it can be done at home if you have the time and patience.

For the seat recovering I would probably call Nitro and see if they still make that seat and just buy a new middle seat.  If they don't have it you should get it professionally re-upholstered, it shouldn't be too expensive for just that little seat.

I'd take the seat to an upholstry shop.  The carpet isn't bad to do.  You can get the old up with lacquer thinner.

Plan on doing the whole boat with the carpet.  Anything else will end up looking like a patch job.
