Bassnajr Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Well it's time to replace/rcover the seats (bench seat) on my Procraft Pro 205 bass boat. the question is this???? For those who have done this in the past: Is it cheaper to have them re-upholstered or just to re-place them with after market seats?? I don't have a price on the re-cover yet, but new seats (and not OEM Procraft seats!!) are between $400.00 and $900.00 dollars. What to do???!!!! Quote
Super User cart7t Posted September 2, 2009 Super User Posted September 2, 2009 Inexpensive and they come in a multitude of colors. Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted September 2, 2009 Super User Posted September 2, 2009 Depends on the seats and if you want them to look original or not but unless they're just plain, basic seat, I doubt you're going to get them done for less than $400. Personally I just do my own. Usually cost me about $100 for the materials Quote
soccplayer07 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 try the boat seat store. they have good ones for around 400. Quote

Super User fishfordollars Posted September 3, 2009 Super User Posted September 3, 2009 Try this: www.boatingseats.com I bought mine here and so did Long Mike. We are both very pleased. Quote

And free shipping doesn't hurt!!! I doubt I can get the old seats re-covered for that price...... Quote
bass or bass ? Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 When I did a rebuild of my boat I found that Cabela's has a wide variety of seats. Got mine there for @ $165 each and am very happy with them. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted September 3, 2009 Super User Posted September 3, 2009 When I did a rebuild of my boat I found that Cabela's has a wide variety of seats. Got mine there for @ $165 each and am very happy with them. Cabelas and BPS both sell seats from this company(WWW.boatingseats.com). BPS said they would only stock the mid range price seats and if I wanted the higher end ones I would have to order direct. I did and it took seven working days to receive them. Word is they build when the order is turned in. You can follow your order from day one and track it each day as it progresses through the build and delivery. It's actually Wise seat company. They build the OEM seats for Tracker, Nitro, Champion, and Stratos. I heard they build some for Ranger, but could not confirm that. Their seats are excellent. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted September 4, 2009 Super User Posted September 4, 2009 What Fishfordollars said. Here's a photo of my new seats. I replaced them all, including the fishing seats, for about $500. Quote
Super User Tin Posted September 4, 2009 Super User Posted September 4, 2009 Nice seats Mr. Mike. Those would actually look amazing in your Procraft Unc. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted September 4, 2009 Super User Posted September 4, 2009 What's a Procraft Unc? Never heard of it. :-/ Quote
Super User Tin Posted September 4, 2009 Super User Posted September 4, 2009 Sorry. "Unc" is what D3 and I call bassnajr. My grammar skills are not what they usually are tonight. I still have anesthesia in my system, cut me some slack. ;D Quote
