Skinny Gator Skinny Water Center Console Conversion

 

   <- Previous     Installed a Cushioned Seat Back  
We built and installed a seat cushion. We bought the vinyl at a fabric store (be careful though, we pulled a little off the roll and the weight of the fabric caused the whole entire roll of vinyl to unspool onto the floor!). I took the fabric to Bass Pro to get the boat logo embroidered and they said they could do what we wanted. When we went to pick it up, they apparently changed their mind. I talked with other professional embroidery shops and they were expensive. I just so happened to be at the local mall and the lady at the t-shirt embroidery kiosk said she could do it. She did a fantastic job. I sent the vinyl and frame to a friends mother and she completed the work. It looks great. The Skinny Gator is finally done.

One more note, we were in Mosquito Lagoon last weekend. We could run on a plane very comfortably in 1 foot of water. It was unnerving at first but did it feel good. We were able to access areas that we had to use the trolling motor or paddle before. The boat cruises at 28 mph, WOT at 31.5 with me, my son and a cooler, and will run all day on 6 gallons. Not bad for a 25hp. It has far exceeded our expectations.
