fountain upholstery
Has anyone had a problem with the stitching on bolster seats? I have a 2005 and the vinyl is coming apart at the stitching on seat buttom. Fountain wants $180 per seat buttom to make a new cover. Should I have someone fix if possible or buy new? I want the vinyl to match either way.

Not the bolsters, but the rear seat seam and hatch at the headrest.
Had my hatch cover repaired on my previous Fountain. The vinyl is pulled so tight with no room to give when stepped on, stitching started pulling through between the headrest. Took it to a marina and had them resew the seems in just enough to catch good material. Matching it proved to be impossible. So many textures, weights, colors of white, I didn't want a mix match.
For $180, I'd go the new bottom myself beings your boat is new enough.
