[What is the quality of the upholstery sold by] Specialty Marine?

The reports are not great for long term use.
Their vinyl looks close to OEM; its overall quality is lacking. Their vinyl is not a perfect match to the OEM material. It is a much thinner grade vinyl, too, and is easily damaged. The foam they use has been reported to hold a lot of water in it--which is a sign of poor quality--and their hardware used it not to OEM quality either.
Go with Anderson's and get it right the first time. Also Anderson's cushions are made right here in the USA.

Do you know if the interior cushions that Twin City Marine sells come from Anderson? They are the same price and I have not heard back from Anderson. Thanx Buck

Sue at Twin Cities only sells OEM and OEM quality replacement parts. I would venture to say that yes, she is sourcing cushions from Anderon's for the Classic Whalers

Do the replacements have the whaler logo like the originals?

I have replaced my rear quarter seats and side bolsters with Sue at Twin Cities. The side bolsters surprisingly has the molded in Whaler Logo and everything was spot on perfect.
It all came from Andersons. But go through Sue, the price is about the same and she is the best in service. Its worth sending the business that way
