new interior

[maxxman04]

hope this is in the right section. i've been searching for somewhere to purchase new or even good used cushions/seats for my boat. it's 89 bayliner 1950 capri. obviously i'm not trying to spend a fortune, as this is not a fancy boat, but would like to replace the worn out stuff. i'm not skilled or patient enough to do myself. is there anywhere that sells bayliner cushions from this era of boat?

Re: new interior

In short, no. Not even the manufacturer.

What most people do is either hunt through boat salvage yards and classified ads for cushions from another boat of the same type, but aftermarket generic cushions that fit relatively the same, or have the boat re-upholstered using the old cushions as a pattern.

If you're a hands-on person you can do a good part of the upholstery yourself, and use generic waterproof foam you cut to size and shape to build new cushions. Much of the time you can even re-use the old foam after steaming it, and you just have to staple or sew new vinyl on.
