Cabin cushions for Mac 25

Post by noahvale »

I just got a 1980 Mac25. It's all original. The cabin cushion covers are in pretty bad shape. I would really like to just replace all the cushions with a better quality foam and vinyl covers. Does anyone know of a dealer that has the dimensions for my boat, or would it be better to have them custom made? Any advice is appreciated!

Custom Made

I would go with custom made and have zippers made for easy cover removal. Check prices and material quality as they can vary widely. I have seen them out of vinyl and sunbrella type material. Mine are vinyl and cost $220 for the interior set.

I got a quote of $495 from Softopper for just the covers in marine vinyl. 3 inch foam is available on ebay pretty cheap. I'm going to take the cushions to a couple of local shops for a quote as well.

The prices I have seen are higher for interior cushion sets, from about $600 for covers only to $1000 for cushions and covers.

I checked for the guy that did mine and he is out of business. I guess he did not charge enough. BTW I forgot to say that the price was for labor only. I had the foam, material and zippers. Kinda' misleading :P

I just dropped them off at a local shop that has been in business since 1974. They are doing them in a beautiful light blue Naugahyde which will match my deck accents for $500.

Sounds like a reasonable deal.
