Evening All

I'm after a bit of advice, I'm going to cover areas of my cockpit on my cabin cruiser with fabric. The fibreglass is showing its age and there are drill holes etc.. all over it so its in the process of being boarded out and will be covered with a waterproof pvc style fabric. I would like to use a similar fabric for the cushions. Any ideas of what I could use and suppliers, I've had samples for Boy Riven which are good but pricey.

Cheers

Stu

unfortunately good quality vinyl isn't cheap, I'm having my cockpit reupholstered using chieftain, £17 and shrapnel a M2 and there's not a lot of change from 3k

FWIW if you fill out your profile with more detail there's loads of advice to be had and locations but without knowing where you are the info is some times slow to come.

Thanks for the info, my profile's been updated.

Have you got any web links for the suppliers ?

Cheers

Goggle Porter Forster, Don't know if they sell direct to the public though, I've had a account with them for a few years.
