Replacing Boat Vinyl Fabrics

With the temperatures often dropping below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, winter seasons in Michigan are often hard to deal with. This is usually around the time where there is nothing better to do but to hide out inside my warm house to avoid getting frostbite. The months seem to extend much longer than they actually do, so by the time that spring comes back around, I am ready to take advantage of the warm temperatures.

            My parents bought a lake house cottage five years ago in hopes of enjoying the hot seasons to its full potential, and ever since then, we head down there as soon as the weather permits. Whenever I go to my cottage, I know it's my time to relax and not think about anything to do with working. There is never nothing to do: I am always either swimming, tanning, napping in a hammock or having water balloon fights with my neighbors.

            Though there are so many activities to do, my favorite always consists of taking the boat out to the deep end of the lake. Because my family got our boat a few years ago, there is some obvious wear to it. It's no longer as shiny as it used to be, the paint is no longer vibrant, and because the winters are so cold, the boat vinyl on the seats has started to crack.

            Vinyl is known for being durable and easy to clean, so for the most part, we have been able to keep it in good shape. However, when the temperature drops, the amount of flexibility in the plastic drops as well. After a few years of noticing that the marine vinyl was beginning to fade, cracks started to appear, making the boat seem older than it actually was.

            My family determined that instead of trying to fix the cracks by ourselves, we were going to buy extra marine upholstery so that we could replace it. With a reference from a friend, we contacted All Vinyl Fabrics who specialize in selling marine vinyl. We were offered myriad colors and textures so that our decision making would be simpler.

            We were so impressed by the wide range of marine upholstery they had in store that we bought yards of the deep blue boat vinyl they had. In the end, we were both content and greatly satisfied with the quality of the product that we bought. Having to look around to buy a replacement marine vinyl for our boat seemed like a burden at first, but All Vinyl Fabrics made it effortless for us.
