We have the same boat here in Plymouth, MA. Although have never had this many at one time, the interior configuration has sleeping arrangements for seven! Good Luck with the boat, you will love it!

Is there any chance you picked up a line in the wheel?

No problem, I'll try calling you mid-morning today.

We have a 1981 Vanguard, maybe I can be of some help.

Just finishing up our 1st season with an 81' Vanguard. We purchased it at this time last year. We really enjoyed the boat, and best of all, not an ounce of trouble. I would highly recommend this model to anyone. We also received a ton of comments and compliments. You should feel comfortable...

PaulFM, those pictures are really sharp of your Vanguard! I can only hope to have ours look as good as yours in the future. I have it pretty much torn apart at this time, once the guy is done with the interior cushions I'll be able to piece it back together. Looking at the way you have...

I'll post some photos of the 31' Vanguard the day we purchased it as soon as I figure out how to do so. No, there is no aft cabin in our model. It does technically have sleeping arrangements for seven down below, might not be the best configuration, we'll have to see. I have the cabin pretty...

Thanks for the reply, liftbridge, It is exciting to hear that you are interested in this model. It is also encouraging to see that you have taken on such an aggressive project. We just really needed to clean ours up a touch, but decided to update the cabin. All other systems checked out...

Kybishop, Thank you for letting us know about the Sea Ray link. That was pretty cool to see the photos of the day. A little dated, that is why we're re-upholstering ours! Even though the boat is sort of old she still looks pretty good.

We purchased a Vangaurd 31' a few months ago. In the process of gutting the cabin and re-upholstering, just for personal preference reasons. There was nothing really wrong with it that we could tell. It really seems like a lot of boat, can't wait to finally get it into the water. I just...

With the positive last few replies, and the quote I just received from a local furniture upholstery shop($4,860.00), decision made, We'll try it ourselves! I should of taken that home ec class back in high school!

I give you good credit for taking that project on yourself. I am also leaning that way myself, I am just not sure I'll get it put back looking presentable. Good Luck on your end, I'll keep you advised on our progress. How much trouble can I posibly be getting into?

Thanks for the heads-up on those links. I will check them out.

Thanks, both of your suggestions are really appreciated. I don't really know which way we'll go yet. May very well try buying the material ourselves then finding someone with sewing talent to make them up. What type material did you get for the marine enviroment?

Good Morning, Hoping to get some feedback and or advice on the subject of re-upholstering our existing cabin interior. There are app. 12 cushions that I have removed from down below, and I need some help on what works for fabrics, styles and ballpark pricing. Thanks

Thanks for the nice welcome, this site looks to be exactly what I was looking for in a group.

Good Afternoon, I am new to the group. Just purchased a 31' Sea Ray Vanguard, she is an older model(1981) but in very solid shape. The boat was well cared for by the previous owner. Looking forward to getting her ready for next season, appears to be a ton of information on this site. Thanks...

Good Afternnoon, new to the group. Just purchased my first pleasure boat, 1981 Sea Ray Vanguard 31'. She's an old girl but in really great shape. She was very well taken care by previous owner. Looking forward to getting in the water and enjoying the whole recreational boating culture! Will...
