Boat upholstery in D'Iberville, MS
Back Bay of Biloxi town with the D'Iberville public marina and the Popp's Ferry corridor, a bass boat and bay boat fleet stored on lifts and trailers where covers are rare.
D'Iberville sits on the north shore of the Back Bay of Biloxi, and its boat owners run a different fleet than the beachfront towns. Bass boats, bay boats and small center consoles dominate, most of them on boat lifts behind houses along the bay or on trailers in the Highway 15 storage yards. Lifts keep hulls dry and seats in full sun. A lift boat with no cover gets more ultraviolet exposure than a slip boat because nothing around it throws shade.
Gulfport Boat Upholstery reaches D'Iberville in about 25 minutes over the Popp's Ferry bridge. Bass boat pedestal seats and butt seats are the common job, $200 to $550 each on the published table, and the bay boats bring leaning post and bolster work at $250 to $600 per piece. Owners in the storage yards tend to trailer to the shop.
Lift owners along the Back Bay are the ones we talk to about covers most. A lift already protects the hull; a $900 to $2,500 cover finishes the job for the seats.
Every range above comes from the published cost guide at Gulfport Boat Upholstery.
Why bass boat seats split at the front seam
Bass boat seats fail at the pedestal base and the seam that runs across the front of the bottom cushion, because that is where the boat flexes when you come off a wave in the Back Bay chop. We reinforce that seam and use a heavier backing on pedestal seats than on bench seats, which is why they are quoted as their own line.
The Back Bay, the marina and the storage yards
In D'Iberville we work the D'Iberville public marina, Popp's Ferry Road, the Back Bay of Biloxi and the Highway 15 boat storage yards, plus private docks and lifts in between. Nearby harbors on the same route:
D'Iberville owners ask us
- Do you re-cover bass boat pedestal seats?
- Yes. Pedestal and butt seats run $200 to $550 each with reinforced front seams and new foam where needed. We match the color to the boat if you want the factory look.
- My boat is on a lift behind my house on the Back Bay. Can you work there?
- Yes. A lift is a dock visit like any other. We pattern the pieces on the lift, sew at the shop, and come back to install. Give us the address and we will schedule around the tide if the lift is low.
- Is it worth covering a boat that is already on a lift?
- For the seats, yes. The lift protects the hull and does nothing for the vinyl, which gets full sun all day. A cover roughly doubles seat life on a lift boat.
