    Just looked. Craigslist has them in my area. I bet your area is covered up with them.

    Cheapest one on Craigslist here in OH is 1200.00...seems like a lot of dough for a project to me, but if that is in your price range I am sure FHC Nation can find a way to get it to you!

    My nautique's seat bottoms are in the upholstery shop to get recovered. With all the house with and tractor work I'm doing, we won't be able to get out on the lake until the first weekend in June. Good time to get it all done. I do have to get the boat out of storage though...

    The fish are trembling! They don’t have a chance. I always said.....”horsepower won’t catch fish”. Love it.

    That upholsterer was super fast. I picked up my seat cushions today.

    Now I got to get the boat out of storage.

    I sure would like to get that done on my Blaze driver's seat. I called for a quote years ago and it was expensive, if spending that much might as well get a new one. Idk, duct tape and egg crate mattress toppers crossing my mind...............


    Eta, :rofl: :lol: actually just went back to edit for the grammer police:dex: Oh wait, should it be plural apostrophe Eric VW ?

    The best is when he makes an error. What's that about glass houses and not throwing stones? Lol
