Re upholster boat seats

I have re upholstered a few boat seats and will offer what wisdom I have gleened. If we are talking about single fold down seats, it's probably not worth the effort. By the time you buy your material and replace the usually rotten wood, you could have replaced them with new. Now if we are talking about a more expensive seating, or perhaps some that are no longer available, here are some thoughts. Spend a little extra to buy good material that will stand up longer against UV rays. You will be glad you did two years later. If you want them to last, I use marine grade or treated plywood for all base and framework. Lastly, make sure to use stainless steel staples to hold everything together.
