My boat seats have a number of small rips/tears from a variety of mishaps, some even related to landing fish believe it or not.

One of my winter projects, besides replacing a transducer, is to try to repair this situation without breaking the bank.

One auto reupholsterer quoted me $500-$600 for the job.

Those little rips don't bother me that friggin much. Kinda adds character to the boat (I tell myself.)

Anyone got a less expensive option. I'm not looking for "showroom" condition, just neatly patch 'em up so they don't snag and rip more.

Thanks

I haven't repaired boat seats but have 4 wheeler seats with the vinyl repair stuff from the auto parts store. You might check that out as an option.

I have seen where auto upholstery shops can fix small tears with that vinyl paints stuff and looks great.

Well that was a useless! Sorry, mispost! LOL.

I just replaced mine this spring and they were better than the original.

Thanks FishinDaddy. Those seats look great and about half the price I was quoted for reupholstering my old ones.

By the way, I'll be fishin' your Lake in February so catch what you can before I get there.
