Restoring my boat

[Scarface02]

Hey guys, I just found these forums! I was given a 1998 aquatron 180 sailboat that has a mercury 3.0 engine in it. I am currently working on restoring it and wanted to get hall's input on how I would reupholster the cushions in the picture. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks, eddie

most of that looks like it will clean up no need to recover

I have tried all kinds of soaps and can't get it to budge...what do you use

Welcome to iBoats. . .

That does not look like a sailboat .

If a mild bleach & water solution won't do the trick, then you may be best to have the cushions recovered. Most local upholstery shops that handle cars also can do boat cushions. Since those are fairly simple, just about any upholstery person could do them.

How it the rest of the boat?

Sorry! I put skiboat, but it changed it lol. I'm going to try bleach next. If it doesn't work, my problem is I can't figure out how those cushions are attached to the boat so I don't know how to take them off. I can't get behind the cushions to undo a bolt or something. I'm not sure if they were glued on.

Good morning
I used Westleys Blech-White with warm water and a scrub brush. I liked using this because of the foaming action and was thicker, so to speak, so I could concentrate on the worst areas.
