In our last blog, we took a deep dive into a Pontoon Boat Restoration project of a 2008 Manitou SHP X-Plode. With each unique boat project comes a unique set of needs. In this blog, we will take you through each of the standard steps that we follow in the Pontoon Boat Restoration process and all your options for curating your old boat into the boat of your dreams.
The Process
Step 1. Deck Repair and Replacement
For a damaged and rotted deck, our team can patch, repair, and replace as needed—even if your boat requires a full replacement. It’s important to keep the foundation of your boat in the best shape possible to avoid any future issues. This step is done before we add any new flooring to your boat.
Step 2. Premium Flooring
We offer a wide range of flooring options to cater to many different tastes and styles. Choose from flooring materials such as Marine Carpet, Solid Vinyl, Woven Vinyl, and Imaged Vinyl. Visit our material libraries to view the variety of colors, styles, and textures we offer!
Step 3: Furniture Accessories
For the seats, bimini tops, and railings that have seen better days, our full line of custom-fit furniture can help replace them. We offer helms, benches, skins, graphics, luxury bars, and more. The addition of a steering wheel, shifter, gauges, LED lights (navigation, courtesy, or toon), stereo and speakers, or a bimini top are the finishing touches that complete our restoration services above the rest.
Step 4: Deep Clean
We offer two additional add-ons: White Glove Cleaning and Toon Polishing. Our White Glove Cleaning is geared towards our customers who are reusing their seats and skins. Your boat will have the seats, console, railing, and skins cleaned. This step is crucial for the appearance of your boat. Many boats have years of built-up dirt and grime on them and taking the time and elbow grease to make your boat shine will dramatically improve its appearance.
Toon Polishing is for our customers who want that bling factor. We offer two levels of this service, Standard and Premium. Standard is a clean and polish, which provides a shiny polished look with some blemishes. Premium is the ultimate service with the end result providing a mirror finish to see yourself in.
The Outcome
We can completely transform your pontoon so that it looks brand new. Using quality marine materials from leading brands in the industry truly makes a difference, especially when considering the longevity of your boat. We also have a convenient pick-up and drop-off service available to simplify the process for you! We’re excited to see your boat in our shop.
