Recovering Seats

[bugup]

I am thinking about recovering my seats in my 1995 Maxum. I was wondering if anyone else has done this or is this better left up to the pros. I am also curious if any companies sell after market vinyl skins that are cut to match factory seats. It is only 2 of the seats that need fixing however, and I don't want to do the whole boat. Any ideas would be great.<br />Thanks

Re: Recovering Seats

Post this in the "boat restoration & building" forum...you'll find a bunch of people who have done this before who can probably help you with tips and sources for material.

craze1cars is right. Lots of experience here.<br /><br />Also do a search. You will find a lot of posts.<br /><br />I did mine starting with almost no knowledge. Found it was easy and saved me a bundle. You can get vinyl made for boats/cars, and thread (UV resistant). <br /><br />I found the original manufacturer for my vinyl.<br /><br />Good luck

Replacement seats are somewhere in the $200.00's.
