There are a lot of various seating configurations and trim. If you have back to backs and the standard up front seats then I would say about 14 yards if it is 50 inches wide. I just did three Ranger Bass Boat seats and got my vinyl here. I really liked it and the price was right too! Check out my thread for some videos of how to sew your upholstery.

I'm terrible at upholstery so I have a guy that does all of them for me, but everytime I figure the material I'm always short... I've used as much as 20 yards on several boats...it goes quick. I really envy woodonglass, I've tried several times to sew myself and it always looks like crap, so I let a pro do the seats....I do the rest. Your 15 - 17 doesn't sound off to me..

No matter how much you order it will always be too much until your start and then it will never be enough. LOL... 15-17 sounds about right. Just add 2 yards to whatever your estimate is and you should be O.K.
