I like the numbers involed in handicapping and sports wagering....whatever dollar amount you’re thinking, I’ll take the “overs”.
Damn they’re comfortable however

If I recall correctly it was in the "teens" for my -12. You're close enough to just fly down to Scappoose and talk with them. I am wanting to take mine back down to see about a slight modification to the front seat bottom. It's only about 1/2 hr or so flight for me.

Yes, Dave Esterline is the gentleman who worked with me. Good guy, very helpful.

That’s about what it would cost if you bought the material yourself and brought it to a local car/ boat upholsterer.
Tell him to call Dr.Randy
That’s about right.

They MAY be Oregon Aero. Early ones were not. I actually talked OA into making cushion sets for a Husky back when. Many since came from the factory with Oregon Aero cushion sets, but not all.

Are these required if your Husky is on floats?

I bought a set of used seat this past summer for my Husky. The seat cushions may have been firmly stuck in the butt of the guy that flip it over,lol, and left with him. Dee at Copper river told me that the cub guys were buying the cushions out of the wrecks he had. Mine is a 98' and that's about all I know about the Husky's , first one I've ever worked on.
AKTango, hope the fed's don't read that, it sounds like a solid basis for them the put it out as a AD,LOL

If you're just installing new skins over the existing cushions, it would be interesting to get a skin and see if we could match the material. We recover boat interiors with marine vinyl quite a bit. Doing some right now....

Nice job Peter. When we were sitting in Cubs long hours fish spotting. Alot of us had custom front seats made up with high grade memory foam as a top pad but usually had the seat made with a zipper to install your sleeping bag as 3/4 of the filler, then you Aways had your bag with you! A 2lb down bag under 3" of memory foam makes a darn nice front seat bottom cushion.

It doesn't happen so much anymore, but one of the best seats we used (in boats) back 10 years was what they called dual density - nothing more then a soft top foam, maybe 1 1/2" thick, and a denser bottom foam, maybe 3" thick. The soft top gave you comfort and the denser bottom gave support and prevented bottoming out. Not sure whey they went away from it other than cost. Now all the new seats are just hard foam.

Edit : Since it's been taken out of context already, let me rephrase. The MFG of the BOAT cushions changed how they make them NEW. I offered this as a point of reference. How we upholstery them when we redo them is completely up to us, and has no relation to how the MFG did it when NEW.

Stewart, read the whole post. You just took this completely out of context with that retort.

Actually it's not a comment, it's a twist of the facts. By commenting that I need to "find a better upholsterer", you are making a statement as if I am having new factory boat seats reupholstered at some shop that only uses hard foam. Do you not understand that's not what I said?
Let me make it simple. I re-upholster interiors as the customer would like. The fact that I find single density foam when I unwrap the original seat from the OEM is a change from what they used to use. I am more than happy to install dual density foam or what ever the customer would like.
