All my boats up until now have had old original interior or used upholstered bucket seats that I found…the vinyl seemed much more robust, not hard but just robust.
I build new seats frames last year and had a local small shop do them up…I’m almost scared to touch ‘em. They’re super soft and I can’t look at them without leaving finger prints. Pulled the cover off and there’s a few areas with black spots that won’t come out….haven’t tried gasoline yet…but that’s next. It just seems like shit material compared to the “aged 30 years” stuff I’m used to.
Did the upholstery guy just get me garbage material (charged me $1700 for 2 buckets and a bench…) or is this how new vinyl is?
Any way to artificially age the stuff? Lol
