Boat Cushion Question

[kyle38]

Besides getting them re-made, are there any places to get replacement cushions for seating and inside railing for a 1983 Bayliner Capri 1950 Bowrider?

The chances are slim that you'll find new replacements.

We bought heavy-duty marine vinyl and used the originals for templates to cut the new. I found the plywood on two of the seat to be pretty rotted, so I used the old as templates to cut new. The foam was in good shape so we reused it.

We took the new cut pieces of vinyl and the original to a local upholsterer who charged us (are you ready for this?) $25 to sew the new pieces together for three new seat bottoms and a bench seat! It literally took him ten minutes and he did it while we waited.

Use stainless steel staples to put the new vinyl on.

Re: Boat Cushion Question

you could try going to some different Bayliner dealers. I fround a "brand new" set of cushions for a 1980's Wellcraft wrapped in plastics in a loft of a Wellcraft dealer that had been there for years. Kind of a long shot but its worth a shot.
