I need to replace the original lounge-style seats in my Starcraft. I saw some in Overton's which seem to have a good review online. Has anyone used Overton's replacement seats? Any other recommendations for replacement seats? I am not trying to restore it to the original look, but just to upgrade since the originals are breaking down. I can't recover them because the hinges are broken too.

I have not used and seats from Overton's but a friend bought a set about 5 years ago and they are still in real nice shape. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Yes, I put overtons seats in our 'family boat'. I was able to use the bases from the original seats [carpeted], so I can't advise on the plastic bases. But the seats are holding up well after two sseasons. When I figured the cost of having an upholstery shop redo the old ones, and the cost of new foam cores, it was cheaper to buy new ones.
