300.0. "Need reupholsterer, Warren R.I." by CURIE::THACKERAY (Ray Thackeray MR03 DTN 297-5622) Mon Mar 13 1989 14:32

    I want to get a seat and canvas reupholstery job done on my 10-year
    old 23' Bayliner Sunbridge, which is on the blocks in Warren R.I.
    
    Anyone know a reliable and cheap upholsterer!??
    
    Cheers,

    I keep my boat in Bristol- but I don't know of any upholsterer in the
    area I can recommend.
    
    If you are coming down from the North or want to take the seats out and
    move them- I've used Mark's uypholstery in Mansfiled mass- right on rt
    140 just off 95.
    
    He's on School street in mansfield at the rt 140/school street
    intersection.
    
     Check with the FOrce dealer in Warren ( the BOAT HOUSE)- the owner,
    Bob, is an old salt and will usually give you a good steer. I would
    think that any of the ato uholstery shops in the Warren Bristol area
    have experience with boats
    
     By the way- i have found that the major differnece in boat upholstering
    is reflected in the quality of the materils. Fabrics for marine use
    stand up a heck of a lot better than staright vinyl fabric and 
    after you've had everything fall off because the turkey who did the
    work didn't know enough to use stainless and' or marine grade aluminum
    fasteners and staples, you may wish you went for quality vs price.
    
     There is a marine upholstery/cushion shop on Rt 136 in Warren- on the
    north side of Warren. There is another place at the Bristol Marine corp
    yard in Bristol on Poppasquash Road.
    
    
     Hop this helps
