I'm not sure how many of you have made your own skins while restoring the interior of your SNs but I came across this verify informative video on how to replace a seat cushion. https://www.sailrite.com/How-to-Make-a-Powerboat-Aft-Bench-Cushion-Video" rel="nofollow - Seat Cushion Repair The website sells materials and tools for repairs and restorations as well. There are tons of other video series on there that might be useful as well. A lot of SN's that I have been looking at buying don't have the stern seat so I have been researching on making one. Does not seem to hard if you have a template... |

I took the old skin apart & used the separate panels to make new parts. You have to sew it inside out, with the inside corners being most difficult to maintain straight stitching. I would give it a 8 in degree of difficulty. Get a heavy duty upholstery machine if you go for it. IMO, if you value your time, buying professionally made skins is worth it.. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

Yeah it seemed like keeping everything straight and making the corners look nice was the hardest part. I have the heavy duty sewing machine. I don't have the 'project' yet but I'm just trying to prep myself as best as I can before the right project comes along. I have seen some custom storage stern bench seats on here that I would like to mimick. |
