Thanks to helpfull replies in my previous post regarding cushions. After a couple of weeks shopping the sales and on e-bay I am nearing the completion WAY under budget. It was not hard. My wife has all the sewing essentials. I bought my own machine in case I screwed it up! I would likley never hear the end of that! I just kind of winged it to make the covers work. I followed most of the details the originals used. I can get more detailed photos if anyone needs them. It could be a fun winter project. Here is the link.

Nice cushions, What fabric or material did you cover with? Looks like a vinyl cover in the pics. I am thinking of recovering my cushions as well and like the look you got. Any info is great.

I found the fabric on ebay. Here is the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=26451&item=2426607908

I bought 18 yds which is more than enough. The fabric is kind of shiny and just a little bit stretchy. I used vinyl on the bottoms. Jo-anns has a marine grade vinyl that is only $3 a yd when on sale. I bought the button forms at walmart and you cover the buttons with the fabric. Unless you picked up one of my cushions and examined it closely you would never know. I hope this helps, Tom.

"Shot of the Aft. Notice the foul looking cushions."

Hey...those cushions look exactly like ours!! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> Well maybe ours are in better shape than those were. In fact your boat looks just like mine; same color combo (probably because our boat being a 1989 wing/tall might have something to do with this). New cushions look great. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

We did our cushions about 6 or 7 years ago. May be getting close to time to do again. Really enjoyed your photos. Ours is an 80 so nice to see photos of a newer boat.

Great job on your cushions!
