Nice Job Curly, My brother just picked up some marine vinyl and we are going to recover both of ours in the near future. Thanks for all of your input.

I first traced the old bottom to the plywood, cut with jigsaw and holesawed some holes for air to excape. I used the old foam and did just what Cheesy did (thanks man). I repainted the hip restraints with krylon fusion. My corners didn't come out as nice as his but for the price and the finish product I'm satisfied.

Curly.... Nice Job! Glad to see my thread proved to be usefull, and come in handy! As mentioned in my thread.... It tends to be more of an art, as I'm sure you noticed. Even a few creases look 300% better than a fold in my eyes. If I remember way back when, that was far better than my first ever attempt. After a couple more seats, I'm sure you'll nail it, and everyone will be asking you for assistance! Very Nice!

Looks good, after a few times of sittin on the seat, those edges will be forgotten about, looks great.

Thank you for this post. Was looking at covers to buy or taking the seats in to get covered here in town. The wife is good with a sewing maching so we are gonna take a stab at doing them ourselves with black/white seats. Might take the center stripes in to get embroidered with a SOX logo if it's not too outragious.

I covered the seats on my bosses Yamaha. He wanted them covered with carpet. Yep, regular floor carpet. It wasn't real easy, but not too difficult either. The corners were the hardest part, but it turned out rather nice,He was quite pleased.
