Hello everyone. Have any of you had the need to get replacement seats? I bought the boat with no seat cushions anywhere :) Appreciate your guidance on where or who to get correct original replacements of possible.
 
Or if anyone has the specs for the seats/cushions?
 
I've been looking for a rear seat and helm backrest for a 180, no luck. OEM is crazy money so I keep hearing take the boat to a local place to have them made.

When I bought my 226 the seats were garbage, so I bought these as replacements:

Todd Boat Seats: marine supplies, boat seats, boat chairs, marine equipment, fuel transport. gas caddies, boarding steps, boarding stairs

Todd products are Saltwater Tough! All our seats and hardware meet the highest standards of the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC)
www.toddusa.com

They were of excellent quality, and I had no complaints - IMO these are very similar to the stock seats...


/// Sorry - I didn't realize you are only looking for cushions.

Those sure are nice seats but I just need replacement cushions, anyone know where to go for those besides "local"?

I have a 2009 Seafarer 226 and the stern seat backs were screwed to the boat so they could not be removed. . The seams were splitting so I decided to see about getting new cushions. Mine were made by Wise and I do have model #"s but I could not find a OEM replacement or get anywhere with Wise. I opted to get the seams repaired. I also removed the screws and added snaps, now they are removable and look great.

I need full replacements for the back seats only. Others I need cushions. Likely need to get custom made.

Nice work! Would you by any chance have details on the dimensions for the seats and cushions? Or where I could get them? I called GW parts dept and didn't get far. I will try reaching someone else at GW next week.
 
eBay “Rusty-Ron’s”

He is in Morehead City, NC. Buys a lot of overstock, irregs, etc. I’ve found GW cushions from him before, along with a few other things.

What model year is your 228?

I had a friend make me some cushions returning a favor to me, and also ordered some bolsters online for a very reasonable price that seem good quality.

I am happy to measure all mine, but there were some changes depending on the model year.

Who did you have do the repair?
 
tops by George in Virginia Beach. It was just the seams splitting but it was a lot of work to repair 2 hours each/ 80 per hour.

I should have said cushions instead of seats. Nice

The seams were splitting. This was because of improper care when cleaning. The cleaner had bleach in it and was not rinsed properly with water after applying thus causing the stitching to come apart. Originally I thought it was from sun damage but was told it was from bleach.
