"i was doing some tinkering around my boat to get her ready for the spring and noticed some wood not doing so good. The wook back to some of the panel throughout the boat and on the base of a few seats is flaking off and needs to be replaced. the upholstery itself is fine. i was planning on keeping most of it and only replacing what i have to. i would like to do it all myself. i am sure with some direction, from those of you who have done this before, i can do it. i do plan to do one piece at a time and expect to take at least a few weekends dedicated to doing it.
what i'm thinking is:
*to just take whatever piece of panel/seat i want to replace
*remove the staples/nails/screws
*take the cushion off
*trace the new piece by laying the old piece on top and marking all holes
*assemble the pieces in reverse order
now for the questions, how feasible is this? any tips on how to accomplish this?"
