Nitro 882 Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 My boat seats have a number of small rips/tears from a variety of mishaps, some even related to landing fish believe it or not. One of my winter projects, besides replacing a transducer, is to try to repair this situation without breaking the bank. One auto reupholsterer quoted me $500-$600 for the job. Those little rips don't bother me that friggin much. Kinda adds character to the boat (I tell myself.) Anyone got a less expensive option. I'm not looking for "showroom" condition, just neatly patch 'em up so they don't snag and rip more. Thanks Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted December 18, 2011 Super User Posted December 18, 2011 I haven't repaired boat seats but have 4 wheeler seats with the vinyl repair stuff from the auto parts store. You might check that out as an option. Quote
neil R Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I have seen where auto upholstery shops can fix small tears with that vinyl paints stuff and looks great. Quote

Nitro 882 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 Thanks FishinDaddy. Those seats look great and about half the price I was quoted for reupholstering my old ones. By the way, I'll be fishin' your Lake in February so catch what you can before I get there. Quote
