Upholstery CT

Helm pods, stern benches, bow seating, berths, cockpit bolsters and sun pads made again to match the outline of your boat. Connecticut owners can plan the whole cockpit from photos.

A bow cushion shaped to the flare of the hull
No straight lines

Every piece aboard is its own shape

A bow cushion follows how the topsides flare outward. A forward berth tapers toward the stem. A coaming pad bends along the gunwale. Each one also has to clear a hatch, a hinge, a drain or a cleat. Marine upholstery CT owners can drop straight in begins by recording that outline precisely, and only then are the foam and vinyl cut to it.

Results

Same outline, all-new upholstery

Each piece was traced from its worn cover, then made in foam that will not absorb water under a marine vinyl skin. That is marine upholstery CT owners can drop into place without trimming a thing.
