I've contemplated selling mine. I never use them, they are in perfect condition, plus I have a hatch cover now over the step down so they sort of won't work. I'd hate to know what shipping would be, but would probably sell them local. I have the big sections plus the two smaller square sections that go over the step down well.

You could probably compress them and ship cheaply... either roll up really tight n tie em or get one of those vacuum space bags..... squish w the vacuum n then roll n tie or shrink wrap in case the bag leaks.

Cool

Also, check with any marinas in your area. When I first got my V I needed cushions and RWilson told me to check with a certain marina on Lake Hopatcong. I wound up finding a brand new set of cushions, covered in dust, never used, in a loft in that place, and I got them for $100. You just need to search....ya never know.

And following along with what Smoke just posted, the covers have zippers so you can remove them for cleaning in the washing machine. Unzip the covers, remove the foam inserts, roll the covers up, take the foam, fold it, put it in space bag(s) and remove the air... then just fold the bags and put them in a box and ship it. I'll bet you the entire cost of shipping will be under $30. (I ship tower computers across the Country for $36, and they weigh lots more than the cushions.) It's the bulk that they charge you on, so if you can compress the package it costs substantially less to ship.

Interesting. None of my cushions have a wooden base, including the middle piece. There is a flat board that goes under the middle piece in my cuddy, but it is not attached to the cushions, rather it rests under them. Is your middle piece board removable? Can you open the zipper and take out the board? If so just leave the board out and ship the cushions. Plywood is cheap, common and easy to shape.

They do em both ways.... often the center one is like yours but others actually have the cover surrounding the board and stapled to it just like a jump seat or folding bass boat type swivel seat bottom... My Monte Carlo (sig pic) has the board built in but the parts boat I bought had a board wrapped in vinyl and a separate cushion that went on top w velcro.
