Our large cockpit cushions are in need of replacement. I contacted Catalina Yachts and the cost is about $1000 to replace all of them. Does anyone have
experience with an after market cushion similar to the Catalina ones?

Steve-
We replaced ours in 2004 with C Cushions from Rockport, TX. It was $824 for a full set. I have to say that I have not been too thrilled with these cushions. They have gotten nicked up pretty easily. That said, they are solid foam so they do not absorb any water. Hope that helps David Wave Dancer II 3 Cabin, Mark I

We have been very happy with our cushions from BottomSiders (www.bottomsiders.com). They are comfortable and very
durable. And, if they do get damaged, they will try to fix them if you want.
Have a look.

I had custom cushions made for the cockpit. A high quality white vinyl cover was used over 4" closed cell foam. Since the foam is so hard, I thought
4" would soften the cushions up a bit. If I had to do it over, I would have use the 3" closed cell foam. It is definitely a little stiffer than
conventional cusions, but has lasted for 7 years with nary a blemish. Also, I never have to worry about the cushions absorbing any water. Total cost 7 years
ago was $625.

I ordered replacement cockpit cushions from NewJSI at Chicago Strictly Sail last February. Cushions are covered with a mesh. They don't have the hot
sticky feeling that I experience from the Bottom Siders. They have two differnt mesh patterns, one being finer than the other. The cushions are water proof
so you can leave in the cockpit. The finer mesh resulted in a price of about $1000. The other mesh would have been about $200 less, as I recall. You can get
a quote from www.newjsi.com.
