Exterior cushions.

Ray: For the exterior cushions you should consider the Bottom Siders. High density foam with vinyl coating. We have terry covers for ours (the dog likes them a little cushy). It actually keeps them cooler during the summer months too. When the weather is inclement we leave the covers off. You do not need to worry about them absorbing water. Can't help you with anyone locally! PS: Where the hell is Poquoson?

Original Hunter Cushion Manufacturer

You might want to check out US Yacht Cushions in St. Petersburg, Florida. They made the original equipment cushions for Hunter from about '86 to '92, and can probably handle most Hunters from '82 to '94 from patterns they have on hand. They can be reached at (727) 528-9644. I am currently replacing the cushions on my '89 Hunter Vision 32. After a lot of research, including checking out some local upholstery places that were recommended by fellow boaters, I chose to go with US Yacht Cushions. They are extremely knowledgeable, very accommodating, and their price was very reasonable, even with shipping. As an example, I spent an hour on the phone discussing foam weights, densities, and cost trade-offs, subjects they knew well but I didn't. They made suggestions that a local upholsterer probably wouldn't have known about or considered, but will most likely give me a better, more comfortable, longer lasting cushion. I would recommend checking them out before making any decisions.
