Questions

The things owners ask us before they book.

General

What does Rivers Refined do?

We rebuild marine interiors. Upholstery, canvas and marine flooring for high-performance center consoles. Most of our work is Nor-Tech, and we also build for Midnight Express, Cigarette, Deep Impact, MTI and anything else running out of South Florida.

How long have you been doing this?

Shaun Rivers trained at WyoTech and has been a professional upholsterer since 2012. Rivers Refined was founded in 2016 and has run out of the Oakland Park shop since 2023.

Where are you located?

1063 NE 43rd St, Oakland Park, Florida, a few minutes north of Fort Lauderdale. We offer dock-side pick-up and service all of South Florida. Work further afield is possible and carries a travel fee or freight cost.

Do you only work on Nor-Tech?

No. Nor-Tech is what we specialize in and it is the majority of what comes through the shop, but we take work on any high-performance center console. We also do standalone cushions, canvas and flooring on smaller boats.

Products and services

Can you make custom upholstery for my boat?

Yes. Everything we build is made for your boat specifically. We pattern off your actual panels rather than working from generic dimensions, so nothing is off the shelf.

Can I change the colours from what they are now?

Yes. You choose from real vinyl sample cards rather than a screen, because vinyl never looks the same on a monitor as it does in Florida sun. Plenty of owners use a refit as the moment to change the boat completely.

Can I change the style of the graphics and stitching?

Yes. We can match your factory pattern exactly if you want the boat to look the way it did new, or draw something from scratch. Diamond, hex and custom quilts are all on the table, and thread colour is your call.

Can you recover my existing cushions instead of building new?

Yes, where the substrate and foam are still sound. If we open a cushion and find the PVC cracked or the foam broken down, we will tell you and show you before we go any further. Recovering over failed foam is a false economy and we will not do it quietly.

Do you make canvas, bimini tops and covers?

Yes. Canvas is a core part of what we do: enclosures, bimini and T-top canvas, spray shields and covers, patterned on your boat rather than ordered to a size. We work in Stamoid, WeatherMax, Sunbrella and Serge Ferrari. Canvas is priced by the foot of labour plus material, so what yours costs comes down to the boat and the fabric you choose. Send us photos and we will put a number to it.

Do you do EVA flooring?

Yes. Marine EVA flooring is quoted per job and is usually done alongside an interior so the pattern and colour match.

How we work

Do I need to bring you my boat?

Usually yes, and that is deliberate. Fitting the interior to the boat ourselves is how we catch the problems that only show up in place. For smaller jobs, standalone cushions or seats, you can drop the parts off without the boat.

Do you install, or do I have to find someone?

We install. Some shops build the parts and hand you a box. We fit every panel, snap and track on the boat and check it before you see it.

How long will you have my boat?

It depends on the size of the job and what we find when we open it up. You get a real timeline at quote, not an optimistic one, and if something moves it you hear it from us before you have to ask. We would rather give you a date we can hold than one that sounds good.

Can I see it while it is being built?

Yes. It is your boat. Call ahead so we know you are coming and someone is free to walk you through where it is.

Pricing

What does a full interior cost?

For the Nor-Tech 340 and 390 Sport we run three standing packages and will send you the full sheet the same day you ask. Every other boat is quoted per hull, because no two of those interiors are the same job. You want a number and we would rather earn it than guess at it, so here is what moves it: how much seating there is, whether the foam and the substructure are sound once the old skins come off, the material you choose, and whether canvas and flooring come with it. Smaller work, a single cushion or standalone canvas, is quoted the same way. Send us photos and you will usually have a price back the same afternoon.

Why is the pricing not just published on the site?

The 340 and 390 sheets are published, and we will send them to anyone who asks with no call required. Beyond those two boats a number on a page would be a guess, and a guess that turns into a different invoice later is exactly the thing we built this shop not to do.

Will the price change once you start?

The price we quote is the price you pay. Nothing changes without your say so. If we open an interior and find something underneath that changes the work, we stop, photograph it, and give you the options and the cost in writing. You decide whether we carry on.

What do you need to start?

Fifty percent deposit. That covers materials and the first stretch of labour, and it books your slot. The balance is due on delivery.

How do I pay?

Card, Zelle, check or wire. Card payments carry a 3.5 percent processing fee, which appears as its own line on the invoice rather than being buried in the price.

Materials and quality

What materials do you use?

Sunbrella, Spradling and Morbern marine vinyls. Gore-Tenara and SolarFix thread. Closed-cell and Dryfast foams. 316 stainless staples. Stamoid, WeatherMax and Sunbrella canvas. These are the ones that survive South Florida, which is a harder environment on an interior than almost anywhere else in the country.

Where do your materials come from?

The same local suppliers Nor-Tech sources from. We are in South Florida, in the same supply chain as the factory, which means the vinyl and foam going back into your boat come from the same houses that supplied it when it was built.

That is the practical reason a factory colour match is a real match rather than a close approximation. A shop working from a different supplier is matching by eye off a sample card.

Why does 316 stainless matter?

Ordinary staples rust from the inside out in salt air. They stain a cushion from underneath, and by the time you can see the mark the damage is already done. 316 is the marine grade and it is what we use throughout.

How do I clean it?

Fresh water rinse after every trip. Soft microfibre mitt and a mild pH-neutral boat soap. UV protectant every thirty to forty-five days, or a professional ceramic coating. Never snap a cover over damp cushions. Every vinyl manufacturer publishes its own approved product list and we hand you the sheet for yours at delivery.

What will ruin it fastest?

Sunscreen, bleach-based cleaners and pressure washing, in that order. Pressure washing is the one that surprises people: it splits seams and forces water through the vinyl backing, and it is not covered by any warranty including ours.

Warranty

Is my deposit refundable?

No. The fifty percent deposit is non-refundable, and we would rather say that here than in the small print.

Here is why. Nothing happens on your boat until that deposit clears, and then several things happen at once that cannot be undone. We order your material, which is cut and dyed to your job and cannot go back on the shelf. We build patterns to your hull. We block bench time that we then turn other work away to protect. By the time you would see anything, the money is already spent on your boat specifically.

You will be told this in writing, and asked to acknowledge it, immediately before you pay anything. Nobody should be surprised by it.

I am not in Florida. Can you still help me?

Often, yes.

Nor-Tech owners: we service out of state. Travel is quoted separately as a travel fee or freight cost, and it is itemised on the estimate before you commit to anything.

Every other manufacturer: for now, the boat or the components need to come to us in Oakland Park. We hope that changes, and we will say so here when it does.

In South Florida we offer dock-side pick-up and there is no travel charge.

What does the warranty cover?

Twenty-four months from delivery on our labour and assembly: stitching and seams, fit and tension, and any fastener or hardware we installed. The full terms, including what is excluded and the maintenance that keeps it active, are published on our homepage. You get a signed copy on the day you take the boat.

Which jobs get the two-year warranty?

All of them. A full package, a repair, a single cushion, a canvas job on its own: every job carries the same twenty-four months, in writing, whatever you run.

One thing to know: the warranty goes with the boat. If you sell it within the two years, the new owner is covered for the time remaining, counted from the day we delivered it. That is worth mentioning when you list the boat.

What about the materials themselves?

Those carry the manufacturer's own warranty, typically five to ten years against severe fading or loss of strength, and we pass that straight through to you. If a material fails under it, the supplier replaces the raw material. Labour to re-pattern is the owner's cost unless the manufacturer covers it.

Travel

Do you collect the boat, or do I bring it to you?

We provide dock-side pick-up and we service all of South Florida at no additional travel charge. Work outside South Florida, including out of state, is available and carries a travel fee or freight cost, itemised in your written estimate before anything is agreed. Nor-Tech owners in particular are regularly serviced out of state.

Can the work be done at my dock?

Some work is done where the boat sits. For that we need clean, safe access, shore power at 110V and 30 amp minimum, and fresh water. If your slip cannot provide those, tell us early and we will plan around it rather than arriving and finding out.

Will my canvas survive being trailered?

Covers made for travel are a different specification from covers made for storage. Canvas trailered above its design speed limit is excluded from warranty, so if a cover is going to sit on a boat at highway speed we need to know that when we build it, and we will specify and fasten it accordingly.

Who insures the boat while it is with you?

Your vessel stays insured under your own comprehensive marine hull and liability policy, which is primary in the event of any loss. In a named storm, or a tropical storm or hurricane watch or warning affecting the service location, the owner is responsible for securing or relocating the vessel. Both points are set out in full on our Terms page, and we would rather you read them now than at the worst possible moment.

Still have a question?

Ask it here and we will answer it in writing. Asking is not the same as requesting a quote or booking a project.

What we build

Canvas & covers

Enclosures, T-top canvas, spray shields, covers and storage cushions. Patterned on your boat, not ordered to a size.

What a Rivers Refined cover is

Pattern: Taken off your hull, with whatever you have added to it since it left the factory. Not a size, and not a boat like yours.
Fabric: Sunbrella, WeatherMax, Stamoid and Serge Ferrari, chosen against how the boat is actually used. Colour confirmed off a physical sample card, never off a screen.
Thread: Gore-Tenara or SolarFix, both rated to outlast the canvas they are sewn into.
Construction: Reinforced seams, hem cord at the rubrail, adjustable tie-downs. Zippers, tracks and fastenings specified for saltwater, because that is where they live.
Fitting: Hung and adjusted on the boat, not finished on the bench. Included on every cover we build.
Coverage: Full covers, T-top and hardtop covers, biminis, enclosures, spray shields, console and seat covers, bow covers, outboard cowling and full motor covers.

Tell us about the boat and we will price it.

This is not a shopping cart. Nothing is charged and nothing is cut until you have a price in writing and you say go. Work through it once and you will not need a phone call, though you are welcome to one either way.

Why we ask this much. A cover that fits is a pattern, not a size. Bow rails, a jack plate, a power pole, an aft support bar under the hardtop, even which side you want the zipper on, all change the shape of the finished thing. Shops that get this wrong send you a bag that flaps. Every question on the form exists because it changed a cover we built.

Not sure what a term means? The order guide explains every one of them in plain English.

Quote usually the same day Every cover patterned on your boat Fitting included Questions (954) 390-1100

What we make

Full and partial enclosures, T-top and hardtop canvas, forward spray shields, console and helm covers, seat and cushion covers, and full boat covers for storage or transport. Zippers, tracks and fastenings are specified for saltwater, because that is what they will live in.

The materials we build with

Sunbrella, WeatherMax, Stamoid and Serge Ferrari, chosen against how the boat is used rather than by price alone. A boat that sits on a lift under sun all week and a boat that runs offshore and goes back under cover are two different specifications. Thread is Gore-Tenara or SolarFix, both rated to outlast the canvas.

Outboard covers

Both styles. Cowling covers that sit over the engine hood, and full covers that carry on down over the midsection. Engines are patterned per cowling shape rather than per horsepower, so we need the exact engine, not just the power.

How long canvas takes

Every timeline we give is a good-faith estimate, not a promise we quietly move. Canvas depends on material availability and on weather when the fitting happens outdoors. If a date changes we call you and tell you the new one, rather than letting it slide and hoping you do not ask.

Keeping it alive in Florida

Rinse with fresh water after every trip, wash with a soft microfiber mitt and a pH-neutral boat soap, and never snap a cover over damp cushions. Bleach and pressure washers will destroy canvas and void the warranty on it. Full care instructions are on the Resources page.

We fit it on the boat. That is the whole point.

You can buy a cover by post from a catalogue that patterned a boat like yours once, in a warehouse in another state, and fit it yourself off a video. Plenty of people do and it is cheaper. Here is what you get instead.

We pattern your hull, not one like it

The cover is made off your boat, with whatever you have added to it since it left the factory. If a bracket, a power pole or a taller antenna changes the shape, we see it before we cut rather than after you unfold the package.

We hang it and adjust it in place

A cover is finished on the boat, not on the bench. Straps get set to the right length, the hem cord gets pulled down onto the rubrail, drainage gets checked where water actually sits. That last hour is the difference between a cover that lasts and a cover that chafes a hole through itself in a season.

Fasteners get done properly and given time to cure

Where a cover mounts with adhesive buttons we use 3M VHB with Primer 94, and we tell you the same thing every time: leave it alone for at least forty eight hours before you use the cover. Almost every adhesive failure in this trade is somebody using it the same afternoon, or ripping the cover off without lifting the snap so it whips and tears the button out. We would rather bore you with that than replace it in six months.

You get shown how to put it on and take it off

Two minutes, in person, on your boat, usually with whoever runs it. Where it starts, which way it pulls, what not to yank.

We do not ship covers yet. Every cover we build is patterned on the boat and fitted by us, so for now the boat needs to be within reach of the Oakland Park shop. Shipping nationwide is coming once the pattern library and the production side are properly set up. If you are out of the area and want to be told when that happens, send the form in anyway and say so.

Canvas questions owners actually ask.

Price and timing

What does a cover cost?

We do not publish canvas prices, and that is deliberate rather than coy. Two covers on the same model boat can be very different jobs once you account for the top, the engines, the rails and whatever has been added since it was new. A published number would be wrong for most people who read it. Fill in the form on the Order tab and you get a real figure, usually the same day.

Why can you not just give me a price over the phone?

We often can, once we know the boat, the top and what you have added to it. That is exactly what the form collects. Send it with photos and you usually have a number the same day, and you have not had to sit on hold to get it.

How long does it take?

Most canvas runs two to four weeks depending on material lead time and how full the shop is. You get a real date at quote, and if it moves you hear it from us before you have to ask.

Do I pay the whole thing up front?

No. A deposit covers the material, and the balance is due when the cover is fitted and you are happy with it.

Fabric

Which fabric should I pick?

Tell us how the boat lives and we will tell you what we would put on it. A boat that sits on a lift in full sun all week, a boat that gets trailered at highway speed, and a boat that goes back under cover after every run are three different specifications. We work in Sunbrella, WeatherMax, Stamoid and Serge Ferrari and we will explain the trade-off on yours rather than handing you a chart.

Will the colour match what I see on your website?

No, and neither will anybody else's. Colour is confirmed off a physical sample card in daylight before we cut. Screens lie, and Florida sun lies harder.

How long will it last?

Five to ten years on a well chosen fabric, depending entirely on how it is looked after and how much sun it takes. Anyone promising more than that without asking how you store the boat is guessing.

Fit and install

Do you install, or do I get a box?

We install. The cover is finished on the boat, straps set, hem cord pulled down and drainage checked. Fitting is part of every cover we build, not an extra.

Do you ship covers?

Not yet. Everything we build is patterned on the boat and fitted by us, so the boat needs to be within reach of the shop. Shipping nationwide is on the roadmap once the pattern library is built out.

Can you copy my old cover?

Sometimes, and it is often the wrong idea. If the old one fitted properly we can pattern from it. If it never fitted, copying it just reproduces the problem in new fabric. We will tell you which one you have.

Can you repair the one I have?

Usually yes. Zippers, seams, chafe patches and window replacement are all normal work. If the fabric itself has gone brittle, a repair is money thrown at a cover that is going to fail somewhere else next, and we will say so.

Do I have to bring the boat to you?

For most canvas, no. We come to the boat where it sits. Tell us the marina or yard on the form.

Looking after it

How do I clean it?

Rinse with fresh water after every trip. Wash with a soft microfiber mitt and a pH neutral boat soap. No bleach, no pressure washer, no stiff brush. Never snap a cover down over damp cushions.

Why did my last cover let go at the snaps?

Almost always one of two things. It was used before the adhesive had cured, or it was pulled off by grabbing the fabric instead of lifting the snap, which whips the cover and tears the fastener out. Both are avoidable and both are why we spend two minutes showing you.

Order guide: what the questions on the cover form mean

Nobody should have to guess at a form. These are the terms we ask about when we spec a cover, in plain English. Photographs of each one are being shot in the shop and will be added here.

Aft support bars

The two legs that run backwards and down from the rear edge of a hardtop to the deck or the gunwale. A top with them needs a cover cut around them. A top without them does not, and the two patterns are not interchangeable.

Bow pulpit

The platform that sticks forward past the bow, usually carrying the anchor. It adds length the cover has to reach over, and the anchor itself is normally the first thing to chafe a hole in a cover that was not cut for it.

Bow roller

The small wheel at the bow that the anchor rode runs over. Smaller than a pulpit, but it still sticks out and still needs allowing for.

Coffin box

The long insulated box across the deck, usually forward of the console, used as a fish box or a cooler seat. It changes the height the cover sits at across the middle of the boat.

Jack plate

The spacer bracket between the transom and the outboard that moves the engine back and lets it be raised. Measured in inches. It changes where the engines sit relative to the transom, so it matters on any cover that runs over the motors.

Power poles

The shallow-water anchors that mount on the transom or on an engine bracket and drop a spike into the bottom. Talon and Raptor are the common ones. They stand well above the transom and a cover has to be cut around them or they tear it.

Rocket launcher

The bank of angled rod holders across the back of the leaning post or hardtop. Rods left in them change the shape of the boat entirely, so tell us whether the cover goes on with rods in or out.

Sea pen

A floating dock system that cradles the boat out of the water at its slip. It holds the hull differently from a lift, and the cover has to drain differently because of it.

Dry stack

Indoor rack storage where a forklift moves the boat. Covers on dry-stacked boats take handling abuse rather than sun, and they need to come off and go on fast.

Hem cord

The rope sewn into the bottom edge of a cover. It pulls down under the rubrail and is what makes a cover sit drum tight instead of flapping.

Walkthrough bow rails

Bow rails with a gap in the middle so you can step through onto the bow. The gap changes the pattern, so we ask about it separately from rail height.

Cowling cover versus full cover

A cowling cover fits over the engine hood only. A full motor cover carries on down over the midsection. They are different patterns, and both are cut per cowling shape rather than per horsepower, so we need the exact engine.

Back to the cover form

Build walkthroughs

Whole jobs, start to finish, on named boats. The 390 Sport film is the long one: two minutes and forty-seven seconds through a finished white diamond-quilt interior, shot in the shop. The three short films cover a 340 Sport restoration, a 390 Sport full custom, and a second 340 rebuild.

Watch them on the Watch page, or see the finished interiors as photographs under Seating.

More are being filmed as jobs come through. If there is a boat or a stage you want to see, tell us and it goes on the list.

How it is done

Eleven stages, in order. Quote, deposit, templating, materials, digital cutting, foam and substrate, stitching and quilt work, logos and embroidery, tack-on and build-up, install, warranty. Each one is written out on the Process page, including what happens when we open a seat base and find something nobody expected.

Patterning, not ordering. We pattern from your actual panels rather than from a published hull drawing, because two boats of the same model carry different hardware, different hatches and different wear. It is the single biggest difference between work that fits and work that nearly fits.

Quilting. Diamond, hexagon, or plain panels with piping, cut on our own patterns. Lettering and logos are cut and stitched as an appliqué, never printed or heat-pressed, so they cannot lift or crack.

Material guides

Carpet or EVA? Neither is better and they fail differently. Carpet is quieter, warmer, cheaper to replace and forgiving over an uneven sole, but it holds water and in Florida a set that never fully dries will eventually smell. EVA sheds water and cleans in seconds, costs more, and is a harder, hotter surface in the sun. The full comparison is on the Marine Carpet and EVA Decking pages.

Skins. Sunbrella Horizon, Spradling, Morbern and Alcantara EXO. Vinyl never looks the same on a monitor as it does in Florida sun, which is why colours are chosen off real sample cards in the boat, under the light the boat actually sits in.

Foam. Reticulated dry-fast, so water passes through it instead of sitting in it.

Thread and hardware. Gore-Tenara and SolarFix, both of which outlast the fabric they are sewn into. 316 stainless fasteners, and cool-touch silicone where a surface sits in the sun.

Specifications. We build to the hull, not to a published table, so the specification that matters is the one written into your estimate: materials by name and colour, foam density, thread, hardware, quilt pattern, and the scope of what is and is not included. We work regularly on Nor-Tech, Midnight Express, Cigarette, Deep Impact and MTI. Ask whether we have done your model before and we will tell you honestly either way.

Care and maintenance

After every trip: rinse with fresh water. Salt left to dry is what kills marine fabric, not use.

Washing: a soft microfiber mitt and a mild pH-neutral boat soap. Nothing harsher.

Protection: a UV protectant every thirty to forty-five days, or a professional ceramic coating instead, which is the option we recommend if you would rather not think about it.

Never: snap a storage cover over damp cushions, use bleach, or take a pressure washer to upholstery or canvas. Each of those voids the warranty on the material and each of them is avoidable.

Following this is not a formality. Required maintenance is what keeps the warranty active.

Downloads and documents

Care cards. The manufacturer-approved cleaning sheet for the material on your boat. Tell us the boat and we send the right one.

Warranty form. A two (2) year limited warranty covering stitching, seam binding and installation craftsmanship, from final delivery. Transferable: if the vessel is sold, the new owner is covered for the time remaining. Material warranties come from their manufacturers and pass through to you. Full terms on the Terms page.

Package price sheets. All three packages, priced for the 340 Sport and the 390 Sport. Request them here and they come by email.

Your own job specification. Email shaun@riversrefined.com with your boat and roughly when the work was done, and we send the sheet the same day. We keep completed job records for seven years.

Resources

The machine directory.

A directory of every maker we could find for the three machine families a marine upholstery shop, a canvas shop or a serious owner ends up searching for, sorted by what the machine is for rather than by who sells it. We do not sell most of these. We run several of them and we get asked about the rest. Where a machine is on our store, the row says so.

Links go to each maker’s own site. Where we could not reach one, the name is not a link rather than a guess. Prices are deliberately not here: third-party machine pricing goes stale, and we would rather you got a current number from the maker.

Industrial Sewing Machines 169 makers

These are the factory and trade machines: walking-foot flat beds, cylinder arms, post beds, and the specialist trades that sit around them. The one thing to know before you spend money is that most of the names below are badges rather than builders, because almost every industrial machine sold today leaves the Taizhou and Zhejiang cluster in China, a Taiwanese OEM shop, or one of the Japanese majors. That is not a criticism and it is not a reason to avoid a brand, but when two machines look identical they usually are, and what the badge is selling you is the specification, the setup and the support.

Programmable CNC Pattern and Quilting Machines 98 makers

These machines move the material under the needle on an X-Y frame and sew a pattern you programmed, which is how a diamond quilt comes out identical every time. Two Chinese clusters build most of them, with the Japanese and German majors above, and the specification that decides whether a machine can do your work is the field size: a full bolster panel needs a large field, a logo does not. The second question is whether the head rotates, because a fixed head sews a diamond correctly and a rotating head keeps the stitch identical in every direction.

Ornamental and X-Stitch Machines 21 makers

These are the twin-needle post-bed and flat-bed machines with a rotating needle bar that sew the X-stitch, square stitch and sport stitch you see on leather seats. Almost the whole class is two Chinese designs wearing different badges: the N-C NC1646-OS is a Global UP 1646 is a Honyu HY-550-1780B, one machine at three points in a supply chain. Only the Habraken HM820 and the Simac 8850 are original modern designs, and every 204 machine on this list is a copy of a discontinued Durkopp Adler head.

How to read a model number

The "204" family. Foxsew FX-204, Kinglead KD-204, Kingmax GA204, Hightex and Cowboy 204-370 and 204-102MD, Consew 2040-DSM. These are copies of the Durkopp Adler 204-102 extra-heavy barrel-shuttle head, on the KSP-204 shuttle, with the cams replaced by a stepper-driven needle-bar rotation. Flat bed or post bed. The heaviest of the group, built for thick thread and leather.

The "550-1780" family. Honyu HY-550-1780B, Foxsew FX-1780D-550, Kinglead KD-1780D-550, Topeagle TPB-550-1780D, Highly HL-550-1780, the flat-bed 1560D-550, and by shared specification the Global UP 1646, N-C NC1646-OS, Fucen FC-6204, Duke DY-3704H and Effeci V10-550. A Durkopp Adler 867/868 M-Type style compound-feed post bed with a programmed rotary needle bar and a ten-inch touchscreen. Lighter, faster, and more patterns.

Weinview is not a machine maker. It is the touchscreen brand bolted onto most of the Chinese heads. If a listing leads with Weinview, it is telling you the screen, not the builder.
