   Upholstery

Not only do we repair interior, we also fabricate interior to each customer’s need. Mary Pope Custom Sewing provides all of our skin and embroidery needs and can turn heads with her award winning work. All of the structures are built in house here and shipped to Mary for final assembly. Her shop is minutes away and We feel this is the best way to produce a product anyone would be proud to call their own.

Even if your interior is rotted away but still there, it can be duplicated. If you have any questions or changes during this process We are great to work with.  

 

 

   Driveline and Rigging

We employ certified mechanic’s ready to service your Mercruiser, Mercury Outboard, or O.M.C. Products. Many who have been in the industry for over 25 years. They are constantly updating their knowledge with yearly training sessions with all Driveline manufactures.

We also have some old school craftsman that have been around the boating industry and the racing crowd for over 40 year’s. Bottoms up Boats installs drive trains and hardware on a daily basis. We also have NEW drive trains available installation. Outboards, I/O’s all custom ordered for each installation.

Technology is changing from day to day that is why our mechanics are continually being certified by the manufactures to work on your specific Drivetrain whether its a Outboard Motor or I/O.  In addition to the traditional 2-cycle outboards, our mechanics are waiting to service your 4-cycle outboard motors - the newest wave in marine technology.

 

Just one example of a boat that we set up for a night at the races.  This speed boat that needed steering (left) a foot controlled throttle (bottom left) and the battery and gas tank to be mounted in the stern (bottom right).  We also installed the gages and special kill switch wiring required.
