Custom "Princess" Bow Cushion

[BWalt302]

Any ideas where I can buy a generic snap cushions somewhat shaped like my bow? Or where I can buy foam, upholstery? I'd rather not do it myself. It doesn't have to be a perfect fit, but would like it close so the snaps don't get in the way, or would Velcro be a better option?

Also interested in a simple back rest, in the spot where I have the bumper in the photos below, something quick detach would be awesome so I can remove it for fishing, but have it when going on leisure trips.

Thanks for the suggestions!

your local marine upholstery & canvas shop will make them for you if you pay them

Yeah, I thought about going to an upholstery shop but didn't know if there were pre made options available, I won't personally use it but the wife and kids will want it, so I am researching options before I even get them on the water.

Yep...wont be cheap, but the professional's can make whatever you want. In past years, I have been able to find people that do this on the side as more of a hobby so I was able to save some $$. Look around for custom car builders and the guys that make their upholstry. When you put the word boat or marine in front the cost goes up !!

If you have a sewing machine, it will be a LOT less to DIY. Your local JoAnn's Fabric will have the foam and the vinyl.

Jo Ann fabrics does not carry anti-microbial foam or Marine vinyl or the proper thread

I tried about 6 shops and none would touch them without an old seat to go off of. Ended up making some of mine, finding someone on nextdoor to do a couple and buying a few premade. I used veada for the premade and the materials (so I knew it would match), but it doesn't look like they sell direct any more

Try upholstery and auto interior shops, they are better at creating from scratch. Many of these custom auto interior folks dont advertise, look for car shows..has always worked for me over the years
