Specialty Marine Cushions

Postby B.E.Coyote » Mon Oct 14, 2019 8:48 am

Are the Specialty Marine Cushions a good quality? Comparable to oem?

I read mixed reviews but all were more than 5 years old.

Anybody buy their cushions more recently?

I have a Specialty Marine cooler cushion purchased more than five years ago. When shipped to me it was missing the snap studs; I purchased them locally. The materials and workmanship are of adequate quality and have held up well to light use.

I just bought bow cushions for my outrage(it came with snaps) and quality and workmanship look excellent. We will see how they hold up over time but I do not see why they wouldn't. The savings over the competition was well worth it so far.

Thanks guys! I’ll probably make an order from them. Waiting to hear from Anderson with a quote first.

We have a Specialty Marine bow cushion on our classic Montauk. Excellent quality and fit. Especially like the way you can access the bow locker without unsnapping the cushion.
