I just purchased my 1st Tige. A 2003 22V limited. All of the horizontal vinyl is severly cracked. I assume it is from lack of care from the previous owner. There is not a local upholstery shop near me and I am sure it will be hard to match the color. Any suggestions for replacement/ repair??

pretty common on that year ...been there done that as they say. I had mine redone couple of months back. I got quotes from $3200-$4000 bucks for a complete interior. once it starts cracking it goes down hill fast. I have not heard real good things about copy cat so make sure you do your homework on them. I can tell you this taking everything apart and putting it back together after you get your stuff back from them is going to be double your worst nitemare. So make sure your ready if you are thinking of doing it your self
finding all the hidden screws transfering all the brackets and hinges getting it all back in and lined up is a TON of work. I work on these boats every day and really under estimated the amount of work it would take to do this. It can be done dont get me wrong just make sure your ready!!! Let me know if you have any ???Comment

Thanks for the help. I am only repairing the bottom cushions, so its pretty easy to take them off. The uppers are all still in really good shape. I took them today to my local upholstery shop.
I contacted Copycat via email and they took 2 days just to respond and wanted me to send pictures after I already completed their quote request form. The forums did not sound the greatest with them either.
I noticed the bimini top in your pics. I think I have the same tower as you. Where can i get a bimini like yours that fits the mountint holes? Is that a Tige product or aftermarket?Comment

I really cant answer that ??? about the bimini. I bought the boat used and thats the what was on it when I got it. I have not seen another 1 like it though. Its huge it covers the entire copit area From the windshield to the ski pole. It has quick release pins and no straps. it folds up and down fast and easy. I like it alot.I do wish it had nicw stainless ends instead of plastic but they are holding up so I have not replaced them yet.
How is your sundeck holding up? This is where ny boats vinyl really started to get bad.

I would request him to search on eBay. Last year I got my vinyl replaced through them. The good thing about them is that you will have a variety of options to choose from. The quality will be excellent and the price will be cheap. Since there are no nearby upholstery shops I think this is the best option for him.Educate children for better worldComment

Welcome to the forum. Who on eBay did you buy your vinyl from. That might be helpful info for someone searching.Originally posted by ospo View PostComment
