Our new (to us) 01 298 doesn't have the fill in cushions for the stern seating. I would assume they would have come with it when it was new, or was it an option?
The manual states " fill in cushions are also provided to extend the cushion area for such things as sunbathing, napping or overnight sleeping."
Where I can order these cushions?

Don't forget to lube up before calling the dealer.

Before you buy it....make sure it's something you think you will really use. We have one for our boat, but it stays in my dock box at the marina. We haven't yet been out on the boat and had a need for it. I suppose if you were staying overnight onboard and wanted to sleep outside, it could be nice.

For real, but he really doesn't have much of a choice on this one. By the time he had a vinyl person come out and measure and buy all the materials for such a small job, I bet the dealer price would be better.

We keep ours in constantly due to us having young children and there is less risk that they might fall off. Plus, we will occasionly set a flat screen tv up by the cockpit sink area and it makes a great couch to lay on and watch.

Yeah I was just thinking about having it for when we have guest staying the night on the boat. I will look in to prices then see if it's worth it.
I do have a bit of experience with upholstery work and I have an upholstery shop close by so maybe its something I can take care of myself.
Thanks

That's a good point as well.

True. Like aguyindallas, we never use ours. I guess it's worth it to some folks due to different circumstances. I am interested in hearing how much the dealer quotes. I'd bet my right nut it's north of $250.

Last year at this time there was a filler cushion for a 298 on eBay.

I paid $800 from Four Winns for the aft fill in cushions for my last boat, a 258 Vista! :shock:

Ouch!

Has anyone needed to rebuild the L-shaped rear seat on a Vista? Mine rotted at the hinges (the plastic sheet that wraps the foam kept the 3/4" ply perpetually wet), so I used the original as a template, cut another and assembled the backrest and fill-in shelf to it. The foam on the backrest is also dusting, so I'll take some shots of what's left of it to use as a guide and find an upholsterer.

The fill-in cushions are in great shape, naturally, since they were rarely used, but I imagine they'll also need to be redone to match the new scheme the upholsterer creates. And then, the helm seat, its backrest and the gunwale bolsters. It never stops...

Replacing my vinyl hasn't started yet nor will it start until our last two young ones (ages 3 and 4 1/2) grow up a bit more. Kind of like painting the interior walls of our home, what's the point? :lol:

Try http://www.winnisquammarine.com. They are a Four Winns dealer. I ordered the bow cushions and the entire decal package for my H220 and Tracy was right on the ball but yes the price was up there :shock: It helped that tracy was so knowledgeable on his products and very easy to deal with. It was worth the money to get exactly what I wanted and not have to send items back that didn't fit. The bow cushions are made when you order them so they take about two weeks to ship to you.
