A common question we get from our customers is: "My boat seat base broke; what material would I use to be able to re-staple the cushion material to it?”. There are a few key things to consider when choosing the right material for a new or replacement boat seat base. In this video we discuss all those considerations.
As discussed in the video, replacing your boat seat bases can easily be done on your own with the right materials. The most common materials include starboard, Coosa board, or expanded PVC. Boat Outfitters specializes in all these marine materials and can send a piece custom cut for your project. The main issue is whether the replacement material is needed for structural or non-structural reasons. These considerations will help decide which material option is best.
King Starboard is usually an excellent choice. It is sturdy and accepts staples. It is also suggested that pro board and Starlite are great options too.
We go over the difference between non-structural or structural surfaces. And why you shouldn’t use expandable PVC onto a plywood substrate for structural purposes.
In most situations, it is reasoned that it's usually structural whenever seat base is mentioned. The only case it might be non-structural is if a whole piece is sitting fiberglass.
The process for replacing your boat seat base is easy with boat outfitters. The recommendation is to send photos to Boat Outfitters. Images help the customer service team to have eyes on the problem so they can best decide what to do and give you the best advice when it comes to replacing your boat seat bases.
