    Revamping the creature comforts

    Okay my husband Mike or better known as Bilgewater on this site posts things constantly so I thought I would give it a whirl.

    Project: New upholstery

    Nice job! I too have been working on new cushions. My husband and I bought a "fixer upper" 1973 Gulfstar that shall we say needs a lot of love. I have been working on replacing all the cushions, foam and all. Gutting out the galley is our next project. Nice pictures, keep up the great work.
