| Wow! $600 sounds cheap!!! I need to re-do all my seats on my Bayliner
and some of the trim in the galley, plus re-upholstering of the
cushions in the main cabin.
If you have a good experience with this guy, let me know!
Regards,
Ray

Ray,
And anyone else considering refurbing their boats.
I picked up my boat yesterday from Randy's Auto Trim. I was very
impressed ! The interior was totally different & beautiful and
was very well done. He even rebuilt (with marine plywood) the
seat bottoms and the boxes they sit on. The carpeting looks
great ! The work was done for what was originally estimated ($600)
and he even threw in a Mooring cover wood brace (I lost the original).
Based on this I would recommend Randy's.
He said he would be giving 'good' prices on any repair work done up
until about April 1st or so. After that it's his busy season and
the prices go up accordingly. For example, he said what he did for
my boat would normally cost about $900-$1000 during his peak time.

| A slightly different topic: Broken ribs and missing/loose rivets
I'm going to help a friend refurb a small alum jon boat.
(He bought a new house and a small pond and an old boat were
included in the deal)
The boat has several missing rivets and one or two loose ribs.
Some do-it-yourselfer plastered the bottom with what looks to be
an expoy patch - and it's not holding well.
I ordered a 'patch kit' from the latest Bass-Pro catalog. From
the discription and photo, its applied with a propane torch....
We'll see how it works.
I was considering drilling or punching out the loose rivets and
replacing them with stubby, roundhead machine screws and nuts.
Perhaps adding a rubber gasket or a dab of expoy to seal and secure
the screw.
Any other suggestions...?
How about adding extra flotation under the bench seats ? Is there
a reasonable way to do this?

| 241.4 | Try the foam in a can | LEVERS::SWEET | Capt. Codfish...GW Fishing Team | Tue Feb 14 1989 14:42 | 7 |
| For floation that foam that comes in cans for insulating should
work great. You spray it and it expands and turns to a solid foam.
It must be similay to what they fill hulls with these days.
Anyone know more?

| Most of the foam in a can stuff for insulating is not the closed
cell type that the boat builders use . If used in an area that can
drain and vent well should not be a problem . the only other thing
is that this stuff is very powerful and expands with a lot of force
that could easily do some damage if too much is used (I have seen
it crack cinder blocks without room for expansion). It will provide
flotation until it becomes waterlogged . I used it on a small boat
to hold some of the closed cell blocks in place and it did a good
job . The closed cell that you can purchase from marine dealers
is very expensive . You might want to test a small area of the foam
you use on the material it will be on for chemical reactions ..
