Malibu interior work recommendation.

[MikeDe]

I emailed Gabriel yesterday afternoon and heard back last night on some skins I'm looking for. The info in this thread has definitely made the process of repairing some seats easier than I expected.

Anyone have a quality interior repair/replacement recommendation in DFW other than Dallas Canvas?

[foreste1]

Does anybody have a phone number for Gabriel?  I know that thread was from 16 I think, but emailed him and no reply.  I am wanting to get pricing on complete interior skins and a bow filler cushion.

If he doesn't get back to you, Viper Customs in Tennessee is around the same price.

I spoke with Gaberial the other day. He's still doing this work. He mentioned that he was getting slow pay from some members. Please, if you use these people that build and ship before you pay, get them paid ASAP. This is their only job and slow pay Makes it hard for them. 

[foreste1]

No problem on paying him, not sure how he does it without at least half up front anyway.  Any phone number for him?

Will check the Viper customs as well, thanks hoping somebody has filler cushion for my 97 sunsetter.

Does Viper have the templates and material library from Malibu?  I've worked with Jim before and think he does great work but I thought he only had connections to the Supra factory?

[boardjnky4]

If they don't, then you have to send them your existing skins. I spent around $60 shipping my old skins to them.

Gabriel didn't have patterns for an A22 either.

Tried getting ahold of Gabriel through his Facebook page and nothing.  Will be calling this week.  

 

Anyone have him do work recently?

[formulaben]

I just talked to him a couple days ago, so I can verify his email and number works.

Hit up Viper Customs. They do great work. Here is my A22:

Yeah, the material is a huge upgrade from factory. Same materials that you can find in a lot Mastercrafts. Spradling Carbon Fiber white with Spradling Symtex Grey and Red accents. Plus some custom patterns thrown in the mix to dress it up a bit.

Yes, new boat this year. 2011 A22.

Looks great.  If you don't mind what was the ball park cost for that?  I'd be willing to travel to get it done right...

If you send them pictures of your boat, they will give you a quick estimate. That's how I got started on mine. The starting cost for mine was right at $3k JUST for skins, no installation ... And then I had them make a bunch of changes which bumped the price up by a bunch.

If you look at their facebook, their work speaks for itself. They have done custom interiors on a lot of wakeboard and ski boats.

I'll look into it.  So you just had skins made and had someone else install?

how long did the entire installation take you?  Have you done it before?  Any complications?
