Top Gun restore
Hi
I am assisting with the restore a '88 Top Gun to original spec and I need some help on the interior. Does anyone know where I can find someone who the templates that can fab the entire cockpit and cabin? The cabin and cockpit were ripped out a while ago and lost.
I know that it is probably easier to take to an upholstery shop but I want it done back to original. Once I have the pieces then I can take it to a shop to install.
Any help would be appreciated.

PM Old School on this board. He is having his entire interior redone, some or all of the old interior may be available. It is factory original now but was damaged by moisture.

You need to call Cigarette. It may be a while before they call you back. Call every day for a week and leave messages. They gave me information on who had the patterns for the boat covers for my 1994 Cigarette Top Gun. Of course I have lost that information since then.

I also sent an email to Bud at Cigarette to see if he can help.

Here are some pictures of my '88 Top Gun cabin. Let me know if there is anything that I can help you with. My boat is in the shop right now getting the cabin completely re-done. I was hoping to get the project started earlier in the winter and planned to take it to PPI in FL, but had too long of a delay with the insurance $$$ arriving. A local shop here in Maryland is doing the work. I'm going to hold off on the cockpit upholstery until next fall and drag it down to Jim @ PPI.

Thanks for the response guys. I have been traveling so I did not get a chance to catch up. The boat is in the Caribbean so I really need someone who has templates or has the same boat in the shop where they can take measurements. Maybe I will give the guys at PPI a call.
