Must be nice having that warm weather! Mine has held up fine in <0 weather..
hi,
i have a 99 challenger that i just bought and is in desperate need of conplete reupholstering. Do you have the templates that i could use or could you sew some pieces together for me and ship them? im just thinking out loud here. i have removed everypiece from the boat just looking for an easier way of takling this. let me know what you think and how we should take care of the transaction. thanks

I would love it if I could just get a few more details on removing the seats, got a pretty good idea on the rear, but not sure on the rest. I dont want to break anything. If anyone has any info and could pm it to me, that would be amazing!!! Thanks

here
take a look at this link. http://fiche.worldofpowersports.com/wps/Seadoo_OEM/Seadoo_JB.asp?Type=13&A=13&B=24
honestly, the front seat is all plastic junk upholstery tree black clips that will break and you will have to replace. Even the top backrest of front seat except for the two metal hook rods on top. you can see in the picture. all parts referring to (dart black) are the plastic clips that need pryed up. If you need your seats recovered, I did a nice job on mine. let me know. if you do them yourself, make sure you get the 4way stretch vinyl - you need this. same stuff they put on at the factory. stretchy.

I have talked to Keith about the 98 seats and he seemed to think it would be best to just cover them over the existing covers. That doesnt really just peel off. You will end up doing more damage to the foam.
did you read any of this thread? the whole thing covers where.... seadooupholstery.com
1997 Challenger Seats Redo
I jut redid the rest of my seats that the previous owner did not get to. I ordered the vinyl from Rochford Supply, I purchased the stapler from Harbor Freight last weekend for $14. I put the fabric on the seat bottoms as one piece. It was a few hours of work, then the butt cushions had to be redone. I ended up starting in the center and worked my way out to the ends. It does take a lot of patience. I did go back and remove some staples to pull the vinyl to get it right.
Thanks for the info from everyone on this thread!

The vinyl was ordered from Rochford Supply, www.rochfordsupply.com
I ordered the "Allsport Vinyl" , since there are only two colors on the boat, white and green, there were only two choices based on their color samples. The only green was "Marine Green" and "Chalk" for white.

I am in the process of redoing my seats on my challenger I will posts pics tomorrow I so far completed the front backrest I had to go with puple and white as they did not have enough of the green to complete my job so I chose to go with the purple instead will post the images tomorrow :willy_nilly:

Hey guys, has anyone got the patterns, perhaps copyed on paper that they would sell? I'm not sure just what jet boats use the same setup as my95 sportster, but I am going to have to cut cushions, and vinyl without a template due to the fact that the used seadoo I just bought didn't have seats, or even foam to go by. I would have reconsidered purchasing this boat if I had known that hull parts were discontinued.
If someone could tell me what models and years interchange, plus what foam would I use. ( I have read through some threads and found info on upholstery ) but if during all your hard work, if someone might have traced their pattern onto paper,I would consider paying a reasonable amount. I hope that asking this is not against forum policy, I am really new to this!
Hope everyone has a great day!

you say you may have the templates? I have nothing to go on with mine, there was no foam, or vinyl to even begin to DIY.
If there is anyway I could beg, buy, or borrow, I would be ever so great full. Mine is a 95 sportster, but it looks like there are different boats and years that interchange. I would be happy to pay for a copy of templates.
I just began on this forum today and am not a premium member, so I am not sure how to contact you, but will become one if I need to. I wonder if there is anyone that sells completed units? It seems like it would be a lucrative business.
