I recovered/rebuilt the bolsters in my boat. It'll have to warm up a bit before I install them. Next is the cushion in front.

Thanks guys!! My old Singer nor Vigorelli will go through more than two layers of this vinyl. It looks like I'll farm out the sewn cushion work.

Closed cell id prety firn. Oppen cell eill not hold water and it a good option not hard like closed. I just. Used plaind plywood sealed with epoxie pint and normal 2" firm foam with mesh for vetilationon the bottom.
I added a flat panel in the center with a embroidered logo installed them with
"Bolster clips" that allows the bolsster to be easily re moved good for storage.

Just an idea.
