Sportsturf Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I want to give anyone who is looking to reupholster their boat a huge warning! Stay away from Boat Interiors Design in Keller, Texas. https://www.boatinteriorsdesigns.com/mastercraft-boat-seat-skins I have been burned so badly by this company and don’t want anyone to go through my experience. This company received every boat skin on my boat and a large deposit on March 13th. It is now July 19th, and I have yet to receive anything back. Once I started asking for my skins and money back they “supposedly” are halfway finished. I have been “mislead” (nice word) so many times its ridiculous. By the way, I have every email and text to support my experience. I’m really surprised that MasterCraft has not done anything to stop this company from using the MasterCraft name. I recently discovered from a boat dealer that Boat Interior Designs is misleading everyone to believe they are another upholstery company in the Keller, Texas area. That company’s name is…. Boat Interiors (the original). Boat Interiors (the original) is a highly respected, excellent quality upholsterer with several decades of experience. I’m sure you see what is happening to customers now. Thinking they got the good company, but really got the bad! Here is another sign, when you call the bad company’s phone number, you get a recording and they NEVER return your call! If you know where I can get any old MC 197 seat skin patterns, please let me know. Looks like I will be starting from scratch reassembling my interior.

Baller Deke Posted July 20, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 20, 2020 Sorry to hear that @Sportsturf I would probably start with the MC forum, TeamTalk. Lot's of good knowledge there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Eljaybee Posted July 20, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 20, 2020 Sorry to hear about your experience. Agree w Deke ... teamtalk is a terrific resource. I am a big fan of Viper Customs in Maryville, TN. Fantastic work as they redid my entire 89 Prostar with factory patterns. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsturf Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Thanks Deke & Eljaybee! The challenge is finding an upholstery that can produce new seat skins without the old seat skin pattern to go by. Thanks for the suggestion and will give them a call.

Baller BraceMaker Posted July 20, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 20, 2020 @Sportsturf - if you don't have skins you're free to have someone modernize it up a bit. Separate rear jump seats instead of a bench with a step in the middle, jump seat in the front etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted July 20, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 20, 2020 Viper Customs has done enough MC's my bet is they have the patterns. Worth a call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ironhorse Posted July 20, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 20, 2020 I would just find someone local and let them take at look at the boat. As @BraceMaker said, you can customize or modernize if you find someone that does quality work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 You said they claimed to be halfway finished. Did you go and confront them face to face and see for yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 Google reviews tend to indicate they were shut down for a while due to Covid, but there are people getting responses and product. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Boat+Interiors+Designs%2FUpholstery/@32.9334928,-97.2600986,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m7!3m6!1s0x864dd7671ad2087b:0xef286eebc79e95a1!8m2!3d32.9334928!4d-97.2579099!9m1!1b1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
