Outrage 210 and Outage 190 Fabricating New Seat Bolster Brackets
Posted: Tue Apr 09, 2024 9:43 pm
I own a 2015 Outrage 210. I am in the process of having all of the boat's vinyl bolsters and cushions recovered. In the process, I am going to make new brackets for the pilot seat bolster that hinges up and down.
The originals are made of painted aluminum and look like crap now and it isn't worth keeping them. I plan to make the same brackets from 316 stainless steel angle material sourced from McMaster-Carr.
I have not priced these brackets from Boston Whaler and I am not sure they are even available by themselves. From my last inquiry with Sue Lodell, the cushions and anything to do with them should be made out of gold, and not the plated kind.
So here goes: if anyone wants to replace their brackets for the seat bolster, let me know and I will make more than the one set I need. Making four or five in not much harder than just one set. The 316 SS materials are not cheap so the brackets will cost about $200 to $250 for the pair depending on how many I make. I only need one set for me and if others need some, all the better. If I can make them for less than those numbers the savings will be passed on as well.
I will add pictures of the one I have so you can see what you will get.
