Cabin cushions

[Mark Miller]

I recently purchased a 1987 Hunter 26.5 and need to know where I can purchase new cushions for the berths and benches in the cabin.Any ideas????

Check with canvas shops...

I'm in a similar situation- My H23 is missing a cushion, and the rest are in SORE need of re-upholstering, if not outright replacement.  I've found that local canvas shops and upholstery shops can usually give you a fair estimate, but be prepared for the sticker shock. Cushions are surprisingly expensive... especially if you need to replace the foam padding inside them.--Jon BastienH23 '2 Sheets to the Wind'

Any upholster will do.

I found an old shop that does upholsterytype of work. I had custom cockpit cushions made from the matarial I picked out. Really made a great looking bench. Plus I had the V-birth resewed, there was a tear about 4 inches long. This all cost me about $300. There are two cusions that hang of the back rail also.CheersTJ

US Yacht

A couple of years ago we replaced the cushion covers on our 1989 28'. We purchased the material directly from Hunter in Alachua and US Yacht in St. Petersburg, FL had the original patterns. Hunter UPS'd the material to US Yacht and within a few weeks we had custom made replacements. We only replaced the cushions covers, but I believe US Yacht will also have the foam, it that needs replacing. US Yacht's telephone is 813-894-4480. I'm not sure if the area code is still correct, it may now be 941. Hope this helps.

US Yacht update

Mark:I just had new cabin cushions, both cushion and covers made by US Yacht. They did an excellent job at about half the cost of a local canvas shop. Their addressc isU.S. Yacht Cushions1344 20th Street NorthSt. Petersburg, Fl. 33713Ph (727)-896-3284e-mail USYC@aolTalk to Marcie or Bob
