  • Trying something new! I attempted to reupholster my boat seats. Things didn't work out too bad considering this was my first solo upholstery job. The Bass Tracker project is coming along slowly but surely.

    Seats came out brilliant. I’ve done a few bike seat repairs so know these are not as easy as you made it look. Can’t wait to see them on the boat

    Benny!!! You’re amazing! Wow! You are so multitalented. You remind me of my son Ben. He can do just about anything just like you! 😊 My wife watched this one with me and she has really good sewing skills and she was so impressed… she said “he’s definitely done upholstery before. There’s no way he’s that good on the first time”. Props to you man!

      Wow! Thanks I really appreciate that. I have only done one other upholstery job, the bench seat for my Datsun, and unfortunately I haven't finished it yet. 😂😂 Thanks again.

    Nice job! I reupholstered an old 60's snowmobile seat and it didn't turn out bad but was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Cheers from Minnesota!

    This was terrific! You did a great job! This is such a challenging work - takes patience for sure. When i was a teenager my dad had me help him upholster a seat for a 60s Chevy pickup truck. I still remembering him say "this is like wresting a fat pig".

    Towards the end you took time to make "hidem" to hide staples and then put staples on top of that. Still a good job.

    👍 Not too shabby. I just subscribed... Looks like you have some interesting videos, I'm gonna have to check out the Kawasaki next. 😉 75' 900Z1 here in Aledo, IL... It's been about 7 years since I had it in Kentucky. Took a little trip with it, pulling my homemade mini 2'x4' truck bed camping trailer down to Nashville with my son at 6 years old... Then over to St. Louis and back home, all the good roads down there and ferry crossings along the way.

    Looks good, you did an awesome job but considering that a new seat with a flip up bolster are only 250.00 is it worth it?

      @kentuckyyankee  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @mrkattm For me, yes, but not for everybody.

      Thanks Jamie, I didn't really keep track, probably 1 a day. I'm sure if I had more experience it would go quicker.
