Cushions on my 17' CC are not exactly trashed yet, but will need eventual replacing. Wise swingback cushions and the Igloo cooler-top front seat cushion look easily enough replaceable...but the front cooler seat back, attached to the front of the console with snaps and a vinyl/plastic "rail", looks to be manufacturer specific.
Got the crazy idea to replace that front seatback instead with a soft horseshoe buoy. I guess, mounted up with three or four wrap-around velcro straps (not a steel bracket!). I figure, kill two birds with one stone, right? Have a readily-accessible type IV throwable and something of a seatback for those rare occasions that someone actually sits up front.
Any reason I should not do this? Will the buoy get "compacted" and not work right if used as an occasional seatback?
