They look great, Mike! What had happened to the original ones? did the seams break? or was the vinyl just cracked? People will never admit to putting something too harsh on their seats, so if the owner really did use something he shouldn't have we'll never know.

Wow, Mike. Those are just beautiful.

I am simply a "shop grunt" and I know how much work goes into cranking out nice "skins" and having everything ready for installation. But I know you install them, too! I am dazzled. :)

WOW was that vinyl sunburned :o Makes me think the manufacturer didn't use UV protected marine vinyl. With the damage all facing the sky, I'd bet it's more from sun than anything they used, though harsh chemicals certainly won't help.

Real nice Mike! Can't believe thats 2 years old! I redid one this winter and it wasn't 1/2 as bad after 7 years. And the boat sank twice.
