Cabin Cushions

[randlemanboater]

As many of you may have noticed, the cabin on my V will be used by my three kids for napping, I was going to just let them use bean bag chairs but I think I will get cushions for them.

Does anyone have a decent set they are not using?

Or who has had some made that can give me a ballpark on what it's gonna cost for new?

Thanks
RB

make them yourself.....lot cheaper if you or your wife can sew.....just need some foam from a fabric store, some vinyl, and a sewing machine ;D

there should be 5 cushions

1 in the front triangle shape

1 on each side of hatch in cabin

and 2 to cover the hatch. you may want to add some plywood to these for extra support. ;D

I am missing the vital link in this formula, no one can sew in this house.

You're never too old to learn :D Just kidding. Keep looking and asking around. You are liable to find something.

Get a sewing machine and start!!
I never could sew, and now I am not a pro, but it isn't hard to make!!
And you get to learn, get everyone involved!! let the girls pick the color (maybe not a good Idea for pink) The boys can help with holding things and install.

"You can do it Nicky"

I stopped by the auto trim shop in town yesterday to check to see if they would make some for me and the building was empty. *That place has been in business as long as I can remember and the first time I need them, they are gone.

You are probably right, but I was looking on Flounder Pounder earlier and they have a bunch of cushions. I am going to get the measurements of the V cabin and see what I can find on there. Most of them were around $100.00. I would spend more than that on bandaids to patch the holes in my fingers if I tried to sew some.

Well, just for future reference, the bench seat can be loaded by a single person LOL!!

Please just wait until I get insurance on the ol gurl. :-[

Speaking of which, I have to post a report. Don't know when it will be. Maybe tonight maybe tomorrow. :-/ I'm real busy at work and home right now.

Hey RB - back to the upholstery. Good idea on FP marine. See what they got. But also, you should be able to make some cushions without a single stitch - couldn't you just use the thin plywood or similar material, get some foam & cut to fit, then cover with vinyl and staple on the bottom. Probably not going to win a beauty contest but at least the youngins will have a soft ride ;D

I agree with BLUE, you can get like 2" foam, spay glue it on, and staple the material over it. ;)
