Old Skins

[CottagerGreg]

Any idea on where to get some replacement foam for my seats? A couple have worn down and I would like something a little more firm. I assume it has to be meant for a marine environment due to mould concerns etc.

Dumb question . . . maybe, or maybe not . . . but how does the foam "wear out", especially in a 2007 that's only 5 years old? I've seen lots of problems with vinyl issues but I've worked with 20 year old foam and never had an issue. When I redid the skins on my 91 TriStar a few years back I washed the foam and plumped it up with a steamer and it was just fine.

Newer boats it is usually due to having ballast bags sitting on the seats.

Now even... I had no idea. Our 08 xstar observer seat and other areas are soft and you sink to the backing plate

My buddy still has these. Here are a couple photos of the skins so you can see the color scheme.
