88 Rinker Captiva 186 Seats

[rpg020390]

I purchased a boat everything has been replaced: Floor, engine rebuilt, outrdrive serviced, Hull gel coat, trailer blasted and painted...

Pretty much the boat is flawless except one thing!!! The interior is very poor condition.. .I live in Peoria Il and it seems that upholstery work is a dieing art here. The engine cover "Dog House", Two front seats which are back to back style along w. the two jump seats in the back are very bad needs new foam and plywood.. I can prolly re do the Bow and the engine cover but not the seats..

I am in the search of used seats as i find it will be cheaper budget wise!!!!

I bought new helm seats from veada.com. They have a clearance area, best prices I have found and free shipping. Try places like iboats.com, cabelas.com for their clearance seats. Unless you have a preference on exact match or style?

Good luck, post some pictures of the carnage, there are plenty on here that can offer advice. You could always remake the seats in marine ply (exterior ply), fiberglass...many of done this on other forums? Basic buckets are simple, recovering them is pricey, unless you do it yourself!

Ya i have been looking i found some seats at gander moutain.... Although the reviews are pretty biosed because the main compliant is that they are very small.. I want to make sure the seats i get will be able to comindate my passengers.. As myself I am 175ish and 5.. 7.. Am in need of the two front back to back seats and the two jump seats in the rear... The orignal side panels are in decent shape as is the bow.... But it has the original printe Blue/white so I am wanting to purchase seats that wil match..

You should be pleased with those seats. I had the model level below those in my last boat and even those were very nice.
