I maintain a 23.5 for the Sea Scouts in Mandeville, LA. I am trying to replace the lifelines and cabin cushions. So far, I have had no luck in locating replacement parts. The owner's manual doesn't even cover either item, the Hunter parts store doesn't seem to carry them.
23.5 lifelines and cabin cushions

Lifelines and cushions are generic items and not specific to your Hunter. You will be able to find suppliers of these items near you.
You can supply your original items as patterns.

The store on this site has fittings and stuff to do a hand crimp set of lifelines. I used some Johnson fittings and crimper to replace my top lines after Katrina stress tested them! I was pleased with the results. Might be a good scout project. If ya take time and carefully make the hand sweges, the result will be safe and durable.
If ya take the lines off, you can take them to the West Marine there in Mandeville. They can give you estimates and options.

Unfornately the owner's manual does not have the specifications even for new Hunters. Lifelines.........the easiest way to replace them is to remove the lifelines and take them to your local rigger or local or on-line marine chandlrey to fabricate them, then install the new ones or install them yourself form a kit like Suncor. Cushions.........remove the cabin cushions and tak them to your local canvas or upholstery shop to make them.
