Please describe the project specifications
Our customer brought this 10 year old boat in with upholstery that was in rough shape. We worked with them to pick colors, textures, and decorative stitch patterns for the vinyl as well as the new GatorStep marine flooring we did in the boat.
What is unique or complex about the project?
There was soo much work that went into this project and our entire team had some sort of hand in this one. The Tige wake boats share a lot of similar techniques for upholstery as the automotive world and nothing was simply designed. It seemed as if they purposely tried to find the hardest way to do everything. This Tige Z1 is a 21' boat so there was a LOT of upholstery to be done here, including both dash panels which were designed like a high end sports car. There are also a range of different colors, textures, and decorative stitch panels in this design. Getting all the pieces out of this boat and then reassembling it is not for large or even medium humans!
We also did the flooring on this boat using the GatorStep product.
