Featured Replies

Anyone know somewhere who might do this and an estimate of what they might charge>?

Most auto re-upholsterers can do it for you. As for the cost, it depends on what you want. Often it's cheaper to replace the seat with a new one.

I pulled off my seats and took them to Dons Upholstery here in Memphis and he quoted $75 a piece to recover them. Buy new ones at Cabellas or Bass Pro Shop.

What type of seats are you referring to? If you are referring to generic fold-down seats, then yes, you can likely find replacements cheaper than the cost to reupholster them.

If you are referring to upholstered bench seats common in bass boats, then it is often cheaper to swap them out with generics or have them reupholstered rather than buying new seats skins from the manufacturers.

If you're considering replacing a bench check out http://www.boatingseats.com/scripts/bassboatchoice.asp

I (with help from my wife) just reupholstered the bench seat bottoms of a Ranger for cheap money. I considered it a temporary measure because I didn't want to buy new seats until I was sure the motor was 100%. I just took the seats apart re-wrapped the bottoms with marine grade vinyl that matched the color. They didn't come out too bad. I might leave them that way for awhile, even though the motor is running well.

I put a set of their seats in my skeeter last fall. High quality and their service was great.
