First let me say that corbeau seats are the sh*!. I normally do all my own upholstery but when it comes the seats you really can't build them from less than what they charge factory made. Also, I've only had them for a season but they are the most comfortable boat seats I have ever sat in. http://www.quadratec.com/products/24226_X0XD_PG.htm# is where I got them and then did the rest of the upholstery to match them.
If I was you I would think about buying a sewing machine and do it your self or find someone who knows how to sew. What you want done is not too difficult. Pretty much three patterns will do the whole thing. Also for 1000 bucks they should supply the foam at least. I know a place you can go to in Halethorpe for vinyl and pad or you could do it online but every computers has different video settings so if you're matching vinyl it's best to do it in person.
In the movie at 3 and a little more at 5:30 will be able to see how basic it really is.

Your guy for $1000.00 is a steel if his work is good. That is the problem I seem to come accross often when someone is redoing a old boat with a low book value. Materials are the reason new boats cost so much to build now days, unless you can locate a upholstery shop that has had old vinyl stored away for years and the colors work.

I sent back your PM pricing with the best deal I can make, but we are not going to be close enough to your buget. To put things into perspective I just got a bill from Holland express driver for 5 small rolls of laminated vinyl delivered from TN. to OH. for $671.50 collect!

What about a seat like this?
http://www.overtons.com/modperl/prod...3&merchID=4006
I put two of these in my Tahiti jet when I did the upholestry over and I love them. They fit real snug and they are the right price!!
Not sure if you can fit three across though?!?!

Try this place for your materials, prices are not too bad. They are not a wholesale vendor but i've dealt with them before i had an account with Miami Corp.
It's not rocket science. Good luck.
