Boat upholstery in Long Beach, MS
Long Beach Harbor with 85 wet slips and a public ramp rated to 25 feet, a runabout and pontoon fleet with a higher share of trailered boats stored uncovered in driveways.
Long Beach is the next town west of Gulfport, and its harbor is smaller, 85 wet slips with a ramp built for boats up to 25 feet. What that means for upholstery is that most Long Beach boats live on trailers between trips, and a trailered boat in a driveway without a cover gets the same sun as a slip boat plus rain pooling on the seats. Foam rots first on those boats, then the vinyl follows.
Gulfport Boat Upholstery is ten minutes from the Long Beach harbor, so these are our easiest jobs to schedule. Bring the boat to the shop on its trailer or we meet you at the harbor. Runabout benches run $200 to $550 each, a full bowrider interior $2,000 to $6,000, and foam replacement, which most Long Beach boats need, adds $50 to $150 per cushion.
Long Beach owners often ask whether a cover is worth it. On a trailered boat here, a $900 to $2,500 mooring cover is the single best thing you can buy for your seats, and we say so on every quote.
Every range above comes from the published cost guide at Gulfport Boat Upholstery.
Why trailered boats rot from one spot
Rain on a trailered Long Beach boat pools in the same spot every time, usually the rear bench or the sundeck. That one spot gets a waterlogged foam block and a mildew stain long before the rest of the boat shows wear. Replace just that foam early and the vinyl on the rest of the boat can wait years.
The harbor, the ramp and the driveways
In Long Beach we work Long Beach Harbor, the Long Beach ramp, the Beach Boulevard waterfront and the Highway 90 storage lots, plus private docks and lifts in between. Nearby harbors on the same route:
Long Beach owners ask us
- Can I just bring the boat to your shop from Long Beach?
- Yes, it is a ten minute tow. Trailer drops skip the dock visit and go into the queue the same day. Call first so we can pattern the pieces while you wait if it is a small job.
- My rear bench has a soft spot and a smell. Is the whole interior shot?
- Usually not. One waterlogged foam block is the most common Long Beach problem and it replaces for $50 to $150. We squeeze test every cushion before quoting anything bigger.
- What kind of cover should I get for a trailered bowrider?
- A full mooring cover in Sunbrella or a heavy marine polyester with support poles so rain runs off instead of pooling. On the published table that is $900 to $2,500 depending on boat length. It pays for itself in foam alone.
