I have gone through the process, our RPS Was in sad shape we removed the material and ripped all the seams to create a pattern, we have a Newport so we had the backrest as well to do.

We did find some very high quality marine grade vinyl in just the right quantiy for about $50, so we thought we were on our way to success for cheap, but by the time you add the price of foam, which is not cheap, a new plywood base, and the cost of a qualified marine upholsterer.

Our main motivating factor was that we are in Canada, so with the exchange rate plus duty and transport it almost doubled the purchase price from Specialty marine.

Ours turned out great, but I am not sure I would do it again
