Remember the '83 Malibu Skier that is featured on the Home page and also in an earlier blog? Well, we didn't stop there! Here's the rest of the story...and photos to show you the finished product as she is put in the water. In the end it was decided that a little color should be added, and red did the trick. Here is what she looks like after the complete makeover...part two! Click on any of the pictures for a larger image Seeing the possibilities? Want to upgrade your older boat to something that pops?

Is That Lifted Gas Golf Cart Amphibious...or Are You Just Happy to See Me?? You know that James Boat Repair is one of the Regions premier boat repair facilities, but did you know that we also can help the landlubbers too? Recently the owner of a lifted gas cart, similar to a golf cart but in this case for hauling people, came to us with a challenge. You see, the seats on this baby were all but gone! Not only were they weathered and worn and torn, but the actual structure of the seating was disintegrating too. Could we build some new seats, then stuff and cover them? Why not? Check out the job in photos below: The lesson? Don't count your chickens before they....er, no! Simply put, it something needs new seats and upholstery, think of James Boat Repair! We can do it!
Ever out on the water and wish you could catch a few rays, but the boat doesn't have an open bow or anywhere you can get your whole body in the sun? Well now, thanks to a recent innovation and a new edition to the services provided by James Boat Repair, you can add a super comfortable lounger to the bow and grab all the rays you want! Available in perfect color matches for any boat, these are quality loungers that are both comfortable and functional. Give James a call and see what one (or more) of these loungers can do for your vessel! Now you can lounge in comfort! Give James a call at (530) 723-3410 for an estimate today!
James' Boat Repair continues to grow, just adding a large heavy duty "haul out" boat trailer that can accommodate up to a 34' Vessel!
James Boat Repair now has added an amazing new machine to our shop - we can now do Hydrographics, an incredible new permanent method of creating and adding graphics to parts that in the past wasn't possible. Now we can put just about any graphics you want on wheels, and many other metal parts that allow for super custom results! Pictures will be posted here soon!
Also, we now offer a complete in house upholstery shop that means we can do custom upholstery and cut out the middle man. We can do seats, awnings, covers and more! Again, pictures will be added soon! The bottom line is this: the best has gotten even better! If you can imagine it, chances are we can create it for you! Welcome to 2015 and the new and improved James' Boat Repair! Just a quick note to remind everyone that although we specialize in boat repairs, there are lots of other items out there in fiberglass construction that may be in need of some TLC. Take this nice looking RV for example. We recently did some repair on this RV because it had some flaws in the gelcoat (from the factory that had become more pronounced over time) and the graphics had faded. So, we did the gelcoating to look better than new, and also dressed up the vehicle with some new vinyl graphics (yep, we do that too!). Now she is looking new again and ready for summertime fun!
So, remember us for all types of fiberglass and gelcoating fixes...not just holes in your boat (which we do better than anyone too!). The Great '83 malibu makeover!You LOVE your boat. In fact you've always babied her. You've kept her clean, you've kept her protected from the elements. You've always done that. But Father Time waits for no one...and now she is just...well, old. Have you looked at prices for new ski boats these days? They cost more than cars!! Ok, there might be an exotic car or luxury SUV out there that could run higher, but for the most part the prices for a nice ski boat is enough to have you praying the drought doesn't end! What to do? Well, James has an answer....Remodel yours! Case in point - the remake of the '83 Malibu: taking old to new with a little imagination and a lot of expert work! The above Malibu, as you can see, was in pretty good condition. But compared to most newer boats today, it definitely looked outdated. I mean, when's the last time you saw rust color on a new boat? Ready for the challenge, James set out to "re-create" this timeless beauty into something the owner would be proud to launch next to the guys with the $70k loans and 20 year notes! For starters, this boat had limited seating. Why not add an open bow and create additional seating there? Is that possible? You bet - check the pics below: Obviously they have gone with a new clean white look for this remodel. A new sleek blackened windshield will contrast nicely, and go well with the great black and gray graphics to come! The work continues: Some finishing touches to complete the look are in progress now. New carpet is installed throughout the interior. New "Malibu" plaque nameplate is hung on the back, new graphics on the exterior on both sides, and of course the new tower is reworked too. New powder-coating for beauty and durability is applied. To add to this look, new lighting is required throughout. So, new LED lights are added for both in and out of the water! That includes the main boat body, but also the tower and even around the new speakers installed there. Underwater lights complete the new illumination of this modern creation! It's really coming together now. With the graphics in place, this beautiful Malibu is ready to hang with anything on the water! Incredible remodel, right? Why not give James a call and see what can be done with your old love? Maybe it's time to bring her back...to the future!
