The seats are square and the cushions are fastened on top of plywood - I can remove the entire piece to work on it.
Unscrew the wood from the cushion. Remove the staples holding the old covering in place. When you have the old covering off, split the seams and flatten the pieces. You will use these as your pattern. lay them out in an area 36"x54" (basic width of vinyl fabric is 54") if they exceed the 36" length figure out by feet how much more. This will determine the amt. of you need. ie: 36"=1yd+feet 1/3,2/3. Good to buy more for error or repair. Trace outline of old covering onto back of new. Cut out Sew if necessary, staple it back on, reattach wood. There you go!!!

HI. recently I purchased an older project boat, to rebuild with my father over the next few months.
I just tore out all of the older upholstery (Seats, side linings etc.). The boat measures 18ft, and will need about 80% of its seating recovered, and re-cushioned also.I would need around 6 seats and a compartment covering the engine, as well as the side panels (10ft each) completely redone. Any ideas how much I can expect to pay?
If you need new foam it will be expensive especially if you go for good quality. Just to recover with average cost materials would be in the hundreds - that might not be with marine quality material. It also depends on where you are and the services available there. We found a good upholsterer in an area where there is a lot of boating and paid about $700 to recover cushions for our main cabin - three were about 16" x 48", three backs about the same size (no cushion in the back - covered just one side), two backs about 24" x 24" and two cushions about 24" x 24". That included the material, which was just average material - not top quality. Foam gets to be quite expensive. So depending on where you are, you will run into quite a bit of money to do it well.

Chapter One – Whale Poop
Sonny Cay hooked his forearm around the thin braided wire attached to the mast of the sailboat and looked up. Somewhere above his head, caught in a black pulley he couldn’t see, was the end of the rope he’d been warned not to lose — the one boat part that, if retrieved, would allow him to abandon ship and return to his motel room. But his recovery of the wayward rope was hampered by strong winds and heavy rains from Tropical Storm Bert, a slow moving depression that had spent the past few days wandering around the Bahamas like a dog looking to do its business. Circle once, circle twice and squat. Now the storm had settled over Cockroach Cay, prompting Sonny to conclude that renting a sailboat during hurricane season, while exciting and dangerous, was too much fun for him.

'You're crazy'I developed a cushion of calluses below my toes and on my heels. I no longer felt every pebble or rut in the road, and my calf muscles seemed to strengthen.
