Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Seat Replacement Options For GLS 13 ft

I have a 1996 GLS 13ft Sport.

I do not see replacement seats on these models?

I don't even see seat cushions for these models.

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:

I had a 15' GLS. 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.

Thanks blacksmithdog,
Good to know. I was looking at the dimensions for a set of wood, but didn't know if it was the same. Looked close, but wasn't sure.

Thanks much. I'll consider the wood in my future.

Best regards,
Doug
