1975 F26 New Cushions Build

Post by hustlenfloat »

I purchased my F26 early this season, taught myself how to sew and made all new cushions! Here's some pics of my progress.

Nothing is square or center on a boat, I learned that the hard way. I assumed the notch in the v cushions would be centered. Nope. I didn't plan on having that notch functional anyway but it hurts my soul every time I see it lol

Nice job! Had old cushions in our 77 F26 redone a few years back and it was costly. You saved $ and learned a new skill.

Thanks everyone! It was stressful at times but mostly fun. @Boppy I could imagine it would be expensive from a professional, just the material was around $700 plus a $200 sewing machine.

Wow... nicely done. Like others here, I had mine custom made and they were not cheap. Haven't even slept on them yet... boat is still on the hard! (that's another story).
