Have a 2000 17 Montauk and looking for a bow cushion. Any suggestions on where to find one?

Another vendor, whom I hear is equal in quality - you just don't get the black/brown piping:

http://www.specialtymarine.com/Boston...t-p77.html

They are a sponsor of this site, so I suspect the claims are accurate. If anyone has any reason not to go with Specialty, let me know because I'm looking at a full set of cushions, and they're $318 less.

Another place to check is Flounder Pounder Marine. Their web is http://www.fpmarine.com/

They are in Cape Canaveral. very near the Whaler, Sea Ray, and Edgewater factories...

They don't produce anything, but they move a lot of both new & used Whaler parts.

jddar;
Just curoius as to why you need a bow cushion. Is yours; missing, torn, ripped, discolored etc?

The reason I ask is I've had a problem with the bow cushion on my 2000 Montauk. The problem that I'm still trying to solve is that there is a plastic wrapping over the foam inside the cover. Mine has rotted over time and now the cushion has become a big sponge. The cover is good, and the foam is still in good shape but I don't know what to wrap it in. I started a thread about it some time ago and never got any response other than to replace it. There has to be a better $$$$ way.

All my cushion came from specialty as well as my bow rail. I fully recommend them to anyone. Trust me I have almost 1000 invested with them!

Don,

Just looking for a white whaler embossed bow cushion. When I bought the boat, the owner gave me a cheap blue bow cushion that ties to the eye cleat. I have been looking around (ebay, craigslist, etc..). Looks as if I will have to get one specially made.
