Replacing Lounge Seats - help

[AUdad]

It is time to replace (or rebuild) the lounge seats in my 1990 Wellcraft 170 Classic. A quote from a local upholstery shop to rebuild and recover all the seats, including bow, is much more than the boat is worth. I'm looking at a compromise of installing aftermarket lounge seats myself and having the other cushions recovered to match.

Anyone have any experience or advice on brands of lounge seats? I'm looking at Wise and Veada right now. Wise has the plastic frame/base and Veada has the traditional wood frame.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

http://www.boatingseats.com has pretty good pricing. You might want to check your local craigslist, there might be listings for upholstery installers that do work on the side cheaper than taking it to the shop.
I'd go with the plastic frame, no worries about future rot.
