Hi, I have a standard 2002 Boston Whaler (of course) Sport 130. I would like to find a back rest to install, to make the wife happy. Happy wife, Happy life!! Does anyone know of a source for a back rest or 'seat back'? Thanks ever ever so much. I need it for the aft seat.

See your local Boston Whaler dealer or contact one of our dealer Sponsors in the upper right sidebar.

A "Bench Seat Backrest" was optional on your model and also had the option of (2) Bench Seat Cushions.

TIP:
Take a look around in the personal page section at other members boats.
Here is one that is probably similar to yours with the Backrest option.

I contacted Specialty Marine in Vista, CA and they didn't have anything. I searched for 'images' on the web and thats how I found this site. Im not terribly computer literate so Im doing my best. If you could suggest a company that has something that would be super!

Any Boston Whaler dealer as I mentioned in my post above.

We have 2 dealers that are Sponsors.
1. Twin Cities Marine
2. Nauset Marine

Look in the Sponsors panel in the upper right for their contact info.

Good Luck and let us know what you find.

I think I have found what I would like. In a drawing it says: Option 100 - 70306 "Comfort Package" consists of the bow cushion, all seat cushions & backrest. Does anyone know who might have that for sale? Is it possible to find a used one somehow? Thanks all

Great, order the part from your local Boston Whaler dealer or call one of our dealer sponsors as I gave you above.

Order the part if that is what you want.

Do you want or need the seat cushions and/or the bow cushion?
Order those too if that is what you are looking for.

As a side note: This is not a modification.
This is a factory option with Original OEM parts.

Well I learned that this part number is no longer carried or sold. c'est la vie!

Edward -

If Boston Whaler no longer offers it, you may be able to obtain it from the original supplier.

To find that supplier, give Sue Lodell, Parts Manager @ Twin Cities Marine a call, (920) 793-2715.

While they are a master Boston Whaler dealer, Sue is excellent at sourcing parts, old and new, for our Whalers. Tell her WhalerCentral sent you.

Can't hurt to try.
