One of my aft seat back bolsters came loose and blew out a week or two ago. GW is closed this week, but does anyone know if they sell replacement seat cushions as far back as a 2013 Fisherman 180?

If not, any good sources for used ones?

If not, is the correct material available, with the pleats and embossed GW logo, so an upholstery shop can make another one that matches?

Thanks,
Josh

Good luck.

Blue water canvas wanted $700 to redo my 226 seafarer back cushion with gw logo and grady’s spec vinyl. They wanted 2400 for both back rests and two bolsters plus shipping there and back.

over the winter going to find another route with canvas close in color and find all the material.

Wow. A local shop told me they’d make a replacement cushion and reupholster the other one to match for ~$250.

I don’t know if the Grady vinyl is readily available, though...or how much it costs.

Sounds like a good deal. I'm sure they would be more thru the factory.

Check Rusty-Ron's on eBay if you want factory. He buys overruns and irregs from GW and sells them to the public.

I'm working with Nordan's in Columbia SC - recommended by Smoky Mtn Grady - for a couple of replacement cushions.

My 2014 251 CE has the following material:

Voyager Soft Sand, Nautolex marine line from Omnova (513784)

I was able to source the material from:

-pleated / from Greatlakes Skipper (called Tracker Boat Heat Pleated Vinyl 176326 Sand Beige)

-flat / none pleated from BeeCleanMarine.com

A bit laborious, since I requested samples to insure color matching before completing the purchase.
