I get that you wanted a really really quick fix. Should try taking one cushion, carefully pull the old upholstery piece off and disassemble it so you have patterns. Then cut your new material after tracing the old piece, sew what might need to be sewn, then staple it on. Im gonna give it a try.
Love that you just went out and did this, weren't hung up on perfection, just improvement and learning. It's perfectly good enough, a major improvement over what was there before. I'm sure your next ones were even better. I saw a few videos from "SailRite" before, and they are upholstery pros, but who is going to do a pro level job in their first crack at this? Yeah, a few, but probably not most. You showed that a non-pro can take a stab at it and get a result that is way better than what was there before. This video inspired me... to have my girlfriend re-do the boat upholstery for me! Do watch a couple SailRite upholstery videos, the way they put slits in the vinyl to mold it around corners... easy to watch, not so easy to get their pro-level results if you don't do it 8 hours a day every day.
Just a quick tip. Start by stapling from the center outwards, you will have less end wrinkles to work out. Also use either copper or stainless steel staples so not to rust out after a few seasons.
This is actually super helpful! We're looking for a cheap (temporary) fix too and the end result still looked great for you so hopefully we can do the same! Thanks!
Glad I found you're video, I bought some cheap vinyl fabric and want to cover over my old cooler seat, I was hoping someone had a video of just covering over the old seat, all the other videos seemed way to difficult for me
Here's a tip flip it first to start. Put a inch on the long side tack and apply small pressure. Tack the far side cut. You will save alot of material in the long run.
So, *bandaid* all the other cushions too: Just pull them from the boat a bit,on top, insert new vinyl behind each one,screw the panel back,and just drape the new vinyl down from the top a few inches,just enough to hide the rot, and then *properly* glue (i use glue spray cans,very convenient!)the new to the old; just make sure you use a ruler and a sharp blade to cut the new in a nice straight line. the chief has spokin
Yeah I saw the SailRite people, in their videos, used a garment steamer for this type of thing. Those people are PROs. Loved this guy's video because it showed first-time reality for typical DIYers.
Hey man. I had been searching how to do this and that is why I landed in this video :). I havent done it myself. What I saw in another video is that they start attaching or stapling on the long sides first and then move to the corners. On the corners u make cuts if the curve goes to the inside, and you cut and remove “V” sections when the curve is to the outside. I hope u understand what I said bec I dont hahhaha jk :) thanks for the video ;)
Looks good to me... Looking at your job to see whether I want to cover original seats in a fish and ski that I am selling. Got a feeling I would do a similar re-do as yours was.
Your cusions looked almost as bad as my leaning post. Don't worry about the corners, that shit turned out a million times better than it was before you reupholstered it. I'll be happy if mines comes out half as good as yours, thanx dude for making the video. Do you remember how much you paid for the material/vinyl fabric?
Man i cant believe he didn't tell you to remove the old stuff don't take advice from that dude anymore bro...or get some spray glue and a pizza cutter and press the fabric into those main stitch lines and then pull it tight look up wrapping a speaker box they will teach you the correct way to cut your corners and make them nice and neat before stapling
Man I don't wanna be rude. But here it is Remove your old covers Get a thin piece of foam (similar to sew foam) If you're not gonna stitch it, pull it damn tight. Stretch your corners first, when it comes to a point, fold on each side, a 90 can be 1 fold. Consider using a bit of heat. Since you don't have an industrial steamer, you can use a heat gun with caution, or toss the entire piece in the dryer. Finally, leave the extra till its wrapped then trim it
Marine grade plywood. Pressure treated wood is treated with chemicals that can leech into the water, also pressure treated plywood has voids that water can enter and rot it out from the inside. Marine grade plywood does not have anywhere near as many voids.
Neeeed, moreee contentttt lol but on a good note installed a super dailyable quite exhaust on my boosted d series with a catalytic converter hopefully it lasts .. Maybe haha if not ill gut it until i get hi Flow
Really?? You could stand to watch a couple youtube videos before you take on a job you know nothing about. YOU can actually learn something, too, you know? Easy doesn't have to be sloppy.

You did a good job. Just a pointer on your corners cut a triangle shape cut then staple your corner it helps to avoid the crease

Lol I love how you see at which point in time you said fuck trying to figure out the corners and just stapled the shit out of it.
Hahaha yep
Lol I seen it
Definitely good for a first try- I've been doing this for 7 years. One tip is just cut your ends and tuck them as tight as you can.
Your wallet at 1:12 needs a vinyl job too
lol
I live across the street. It all makes sense, we always wondered what y’all were doing over there.
Thank you. What an easy cost effective temporary fix. Just like replacing fabric on dining chairs.
Check out how to pull the corners at 7 minutes. ua-cam.com/video/ybPGPSsKu4I/v-deo.html Love the hair dryer trick.
Broski, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you good sir.

Sam Baker I'm about to poor boy my pontoon the exact same way!

Nice job!
You did good 👍 for your first try. We are doing our today for the 1st time. Anyone disliking the video still doesn't realize they gave it a view 😂
heat the corner and pull slightly and you can have a smoother corner
Yeah I saw the SailRite people, in their videos, used a garment steamer for this type of thing. Those people are PROs. Loved this guy's video because it showed first-time reality for typical DIYers.

Good job man
That’s how I’m going to do mine looks good enough to me I have ordered my vinyl today 😁
Getting her done. Nice job!!
I'm going to do the same thing. Just went to joann fabrics. Not sure how to cut the corners though. Good job .
Nice job man, that’s a good patch!
Thanks. Nice job. You have inspired me!
Looks good to me... Looking at your job to see whether I want to cover original seats in a fish and ski that I am selling. Got a feeling I would do a similar re-do as yours was.
Great job bro, looks awesome to me. You did a great job especially your first try...I would be happy with them. Thanks
Where is the best place to buy vinyl to wrap over a seat like that
It’s called a sewing machine. It’s easy. Try it.
Brother seats are coming apart They are completely demolished.
Your cusions looked almost as bad as my leaning post. Don't worry about the corners, that shit turned out a million times better than it was before you reupholstered it. I'll be happy if mines comes out half as good as yours, thanx dude for making the video. Do you remember how much you paid for the material/vinyl fabric?
Use heater gun like a hair dryer to stretch the corners and re stable
You need to buy a boat cover. $50 at Wal-Mart. I have a 1990 Bayliner still looks new because I keep it covered.
A Heat gun will take out all unneeded folds.
where did you buy this vinyl?
Man i cant believe he didn't tell you to remove the old stuff don't take advice from that dude anymore bro...or get some spray glue and a pizza cutter and press the fabric into those main stitch lines and then pull it tight look up wrapping a speaker box they will teach you the correct way to cut your corners and make them nice and neat before stapling
Slime Lines looks fine for what it is.
Hay bud the ones that ant all riped up you can paint them white with fabrick paint ok it will look fresh and new
Hey man super great job, it inspired me! Gonna do the same! If you have a follow up video that would be so cool.
Wow,man... sloppy as it can be; but...still thanks for the video; i'll bet you'd do it better the 2nd time around lol
Looks great.
Man I don't wanna be rude. But here it is
Remove your old covers
Get a thin piece of foam (similar to sew foam)
If you're not gonna stitch it, pull it damn tight.
Stretch your corners first, when it comes to a point, fold on each side, a 90 can be 1 fold.
Consider using a bit of heat. Since you don't have an industrial steamer, you can use a heat gun with caution, or toss the entire piece in the dryer.
Finally, leave the extra till its wrapped then trim it
Nice boat 😁from the Uk 🇬🇧👍🏻
Corners are a bugger
what's with all the gpus lmao. You mining?
I'm in the same situation, have 2005 Glastron probably gonna do that.
Great job ! Thank you !
Good job man 👍🏽
I was wondering where the cat litter came into the rebuild
Didn't bother cleaning mildew off old vinyl before wrapping. Wow
Meticulous work.
B18 swap your boat
What do y'all use for stapling the vinyl cover into? I used varnished wood a few years ago, and it became terribly moldy.
You need to use treated wood. Just ask any store about weather treated sheets. Heavy as shit though
Marine grade plywood. Pressure treated wood is treated with chemicals that can leech into the water, also pressure treated plywood has voids that water can enter and rot it out from the inside. Marine grade plywood does not have anywhere near as many voids.
please take off old covers before you reupholster.
Where can I find this material
hey where did you buy the vinyl
Neeeed, moreee contentttt lol but on a good note installed a super dailyable quite exhaust on my boosted d series with a catalytic converter hopefully it lasts .. Maybe haha if not ill gut it until i get hi Flow
Just did mine
interweb? Never heard that before anyways who gives a shit who says anything,as long as your happy screw what others think!
Holy shit i thought u went to jail or something
haha if you want to see me more often i do daily videos on my brandon coin channel
Are your boat tags expired
We need content homie haha
Whats with all those GTX 1050's. Crypto mining or something?
My other channel. Look up brandoncoin
Bro I’ve got a 1991, you don’t see these around much.
Becareful how you use God's name
Background music sucks
☹️
