I checked with a shop here in Norfolk and their labor price to recover the seats was more than double the price of replacement seats. I am going to check with a member on here (Crank68) and see what he can do. He is down in NC about 2.5 hours away. I would just install new Lebroc seats but they will not fit my boat.Originally Posted by va. bass
OK guys, last post on this. Finished all of the carpet install including the trim. Finally got my Dek-it bow mount and installed my new Lowrance HDS 7 Carbon. I also installed a HDI transducer on the trolling motor using a transducer saver shield bracket. I installed new pedestal bases and installed new 3/4 pin type pedestals. The old snap-lok pedestals wobbled terribly. This project has been all consuming for the past month. It seems I work on this project at least a few hours every day. While installing the seat pan I broke a drill bit and the broken bit attached to the drill motor hit my hand. The broken bit went through my fingernail and out the tip of my finger. Always seems to be some blood spilled in these large projects..I will take my seats Friday to get them re-covered and that will about finish the Stratos restoration. I have to give a shout-out to my wife who helped me immensely. She has agreed to paint the pop-rivets black for me. I have attached a few final pictures.

Awesome job. The feeling of leaning against the boat at the ramp and saying "yep I did it myself " will ease the pain.
Thanks man. If you are ever interested in fishing with a federation club here locally, let me know.
