Seat Replacement Options For GLS 13 ft

I checked with our preferred vendor and they even said you had to have cushions custom made. What do people do when their seats deteriorate? Custom make a wood replacement? Anyone know if any of the standard wood seats would fit with the GLS 1996 models? This GLS seems like a step child of Whalers :-) Doug Edited by dougt on 09/02/14 - 8:08 PM 1996 Sport GLS 13' - 1996 Johnson 40hp, 2 Stroke

The hull is the same as the ones with the wood interior, so if you want to replace the fiberglass seats and console with wood, that's not a problem. I only found one place that had the cushions on line, and they didn't stock them, they made them to order and they were pretty expensive. A better bet would be to find a local marine upholstery, take the boat there, and have them make the cushions.

Looked close, but wasn't sure. Thanks much. I'll consider the wood in my future. Best regards, Doug 1996 Sport GLS 13' - 1996 Johnson 40hp, 2 Stroke
