Lots of options on seats.  All depends on what you want.  You can order fiberglass shells with covers from lots of vendors.  You can build your own wood frames and have them covered.  You can build your own frames and buy a sewing machine and cover them yourself like Chad did.  Do you have a budget?  Are you trying to save weight?

Browns did a good job on something for me in the past just pissed me off about something petty.

As every budget cheaper is better .  I was wanting to make my own wood framed seats then have them upholstery. Weight isn't a big deal, I usually have a boat full and will be happy cruzing for now.

Might look through this thread.  Chad might inspire you to buy a machine off CL and make your own.

That's a good way to go. You'll have very nice seats that look right.

Some upholstry shops will build the frames for you , and some want you to build them yourself . I am actually going to build mine like they were made out of plywood , but with fiberglass . That way there is nothing to rot out later on .

I paid $400 for WAFO's old seats already upholstered!! Which he turned around and bought someone else's with, already upholstered.

I've got some brandnew fiberglass buckets that are wider than the race buckets, then takem to browns for snap on upholstery. $230 is what i paid.

150.00 bucks and you can have the HOLE set of FRONT AND BACK SEATS getting them mounted isnt a big deal.    Stringer mount them with aluminum angle.      LET ME KNOW..

Where are you located. I know a guy in the Dallas area that can upholster your frames or build them from scratch. He did the interior for my suburban and is doing the seats for my boat. His name is Frank Collins and his number is 817-925-0322. He has built complete interiors from scratch on some offshore boats boats belonging to some of my customers and did a real nice job.

They're too small for the Enforcer, but they fit the baby Glastron real nice. And it's just the back seat. There's about a 4 inch gap on each side of the back seat in the bigger boat.

There is a lady in Lewisville that does very nice work at a very reasonable price / LONE STAR CANVAS 972-420-1396 I saw some seats for a hot rod that she was doing & they were very nice. She made a cover for my boat that I was very pleased with for $500 with a five year guarantee , every one else was saying $900 - $1400 for a cover.  They have Jet Boats themselves & there were a couple in her shop when I was there .

YEAP I need to take her my boat and my Cover and have it fixed to fit over my HUGE scoop now.    Thats dirt CHEAP ! jump.gif
