Re: 130 SUPER SPORT Seat for less than $700

The seat bottoms have a threaded insert. I made a [template], scribed the bench, drilled four holes for each seat, and through-bolted with stainless bolts. I did not like drilling holes in the bench, but I decided to go that route instead of fabricating some sort of bracket. The [seats] are good qua...

The seats I used are not folding seats.

They are comfortable and look [like the Boston Whaler seats].

Re: 130 SUPER SPORT Seat for less than $700

I have a 2017 130 SUPER SPORT. After one day sitting on the bench [seat] my back couldn't take it. I really wanted OEM bucket seats, but they are way [too] much money. I purchased a set of [two] white Tempress fisherman's armless low-back helm seats. I bought them through [West Marine[ [Use initial ...

Re: 2014 240 DAUNTLESS Cushions Have Pink Spots

Boston Whaler has approved replacing all of my cushions (the second time for bow cushions). They will be using new material next year, and I will have to wait until the new production starts next spring 2018. I am okay with waiting until then. As I have said before I have owned many brand new boats ...

Re: 2014 240 DAUNTLESS Cushions Have Pink Spots

I received a recall notice to have the Fuel Demand Valve insert to the fuel tank replaced ASAP. Reason: Worst case scenario the original FDV could leak gasoline into the hull. So Boston Whaler are aware of a known problem and are fixing the problem. I feel Boston WHaler should replace the cushions i...

Re: 2014 240 DAUNTLESS Cushions Have Pink Spots

There appears to be confusion. The original bow cushions developed pink blotches. Boston Whaler replaced them under warranty due to a bacteria in the foam. The replacement cushions are turning pink after six months. Also the center console seat and rear seat cushion now have pink blotches.

Re: Cushions have pink spots

Butch--I have owned two new Stingray boats, three new Boston Whalers, and I have been boating for 45 years, and I've been using sunscreen for 30 years. I do not roll my face on the corner of a cushion to rub sunscreen on a cushion. Thanks for your information.

Re: Cushions have pink spots

Boston Whaler replaced the cushions last year. They admitted that the new foam that is used has a chemical that is used during the process to make the foam that causes the staining. I should have mentioned this. After spending $98,000 for the [boat] I expect the cushions to last more than one year w...

2014 240 DAUNTLESS Cushions Have Pink Spots

I purchased a 2014 Dauntless 240 as a leftover in 2016. The following season most of the cushions were developing pink blotches. Luckily the one-year-warranty was not up and the dealer replaced all the bow cushions. Fast forward to this season. Almost all my cushions including the replacements are d...
