Upholstery
I'd be interested in what you get for a price estimate. I'd like to do the same thing for my '87 H-23.

Cost
I called US Yacht Cushions, they made the origonal covers for all hunters back in the 80's. For an 86 Hunter 23, all new covers cost $450, with all new foam cost is $650. they don't use the same fabric anymore, so you need to have them send you samples of current fabrics and colors.

Why not express your own taste...
Interior upholstery fabric is interior upholstery fabric--whether it's on a boat or in a house. On a boat, it just needs to be durable, stain resistant, and color-fast. And the fabric selection at local discount "fabric warehouses" is MUCH larger than any "marine" upholsterer will have...and you can take your existing cushions, along with your own fabrics, to any good local upholstery shop for recovering or even foam replacement for less than most "marine" suppliers will charge. I've redecorated 3 boat interiors...never used a "marine" fabric supplier yet. The previous boat had been done 6 years earlier and still looked new when I sold the boat...the current boat interior is only 3 years old--too new to judge, but I'm not worried. Best of all, my boats reflect my own personality, not some boat builder's or a compromise based on an upholsterer's limited selection.

Used US Yacht Cushions this year
We used Us Yacht Cushions this last winter to replace all our '85 H23 cushions. They were the original manufacturers for the cushions and have the original patterns. After chosing the fabric and sending a deposit they made our new cushions. They fit perfect and we did it all over the phone (Seattle to Florida). Best way to go in our humble opinion. Don't forget shipping costs. Greg Hartgraves S/V Paradise Seattle

BottomSiders
I bought BottomSiders cheaper than that for my 37 (5 years ago) and they have stood up wonderfully. They're easy to clean, comfortable and no need to worry about getting wet. Their ads are in all the sailing mags.

I might also add
...they are sold pre-configured for your Hunter model, right here in our store... Sorry for the shameless plug.

Shamless is not the word for it!
Mr H.: You should be ashamed of yourself plugging the website for a product that you do no have. I spoke with someone within your organization to ask about this and that "person" said you do not offer interior cushions only exterior. But, I might add that we purchased a set of Bottomsiders and they are veryyy nice.
