  1. Boaters World

    Ranger Boats

    Try one of these websites see if that helps

    Just a thought


  2. Any type of boat dealer that sells ranger boats or check on the Internet for other manufacturers

  3. If the seat covers are actually sewn to the seats, there are many places that will reupholster your seats and replace any rotting wood and foam in the process. I quick Google search should find a place in your area.

  4. visit your local boating shop -they have the best selection.

  5. First contact the manufacturer to see if they still produce the exact exact seats for your model and color scheme.

    I believe Ranger boats does still produce replacement parts for many of their older models as well.  However, I can't guess if they still manufacturer seat replacements for the year of your boat's manufacturer or not.  You will have to give them a call or E-mail their customer service department to find out.

    If you have the seats re-upholstered, make sure the seat's plywood backing/foundation is not rotted.  Otherwise you might have to just replace the whole seat entirely.

    Basically if the hardware and plywood backing is shot, buy new seats for it.  Otherwise, you'll pay 20 to 30% more than new replacements if you try to salvage the seats.

  6. I agree with the other answer that you should find an upholstery place in your neighborhood.  For me it was cheaper and easier just to replace the whole seats.  To replace the vinyl can get surprisingly expensive.  But I would get an estimate first.  (Reupholstering boat seats requires stretch the vinly and being pretty exact with a staple gun, much harder than you may think, I've seen a do-it-yourselfers job and it looked like it).  Get your estimate, then check ebay on cost of the seats.  Then make your decision.

    i know that link is for customizing a new boat with new accesories, but it seems they route everything to the dealer. so enter your zip in the box at the bottom right, and find a way to contact them.
