well I have a new boat coming so I decided do my own seats and canopy. boat came with basic pedestal seats that will be removed and replaced with two air ride seats I got from kenworth dump trucks from a previous employer I still do work for at times, seats were replaced so I got them free and they were actually in good shape for what I needed, foam was good and mechanically they were good other then needing new shocks which is common.
the rear bench seat was an option for my boat and was $1400 which obviously I could do cheaper plus I wanted 2 storage seats placed lengthwise behind the main seats, I built both seats for about $700 and I like them more the whats offered by the boat manufacture.
old cover as a pattern
new material, I used spradling zander dove grey and burgundy
here's mine vs the better of the two stock seats, there's a cover on the seat back and armrest's, bottom cushion I guess wore out long ago. mine's not perfect and has a few wrinkles but I'm learning and for a fishing boat its good enough.
