New Ultra Leather Upholstery

While looking at the many C36's for sale online I find I'm really attracted to the clean comfortable look of the ultra leather upholstery in the saloon.

Question is, is it possible to purchase complete new upholstery cushion sets in ultra for a C36, and if so any idea of price?

Our dealer told us that you can buy replacement upholstery from the factory. Or you could ring a third party person, they would use the existing cushions as templates, and could offer a huge range of materials and colours.

The problem with ultra leather is that the dogs claws tend to poke holes in it. I don't know how anybody came up with the idea!

I've heard others talk about the dog claws causing holes, but have never had that problem with mine, have had both for six years ( the pup beat out the boat by a few months).

We have had light tan ultraleather for about 3 years, and been very happy with it. We have a Yorkie (about 8 lbs) and have had no problems with claw punctures.

This winter water leaked through a bolt in cabin top and dried in the center of one of the cushions. Left a brown residue when it dried. We were delighted when it wiped off with a damp paper towel, with no residual stain.

Our cushions were custom made, and cost a little over $4000, which included a visit to the boat to measure everything, and all new premium foam.

My wife really liked the ultraleather at the boat show so we had to have it in our C375. Very nice and comfy. Not too hot or cold, not sticky. No problems yet with the dog: 20lbs cockapoo. Only issue I have is I find it slippery. Then again, fabric seats in our previous C320 made it hard to slide behind the table!

It does make for a very nice looking interior.

I suspect that you can buy new cushions directly from Catalina. Has anyone done this and what did they cost?

$4,000 seems awfully expensive and that is likely due to all the labor required to reinvent the wheel by having to create new patterns for the foam and cloth.

I forgot to add that I am interested in the Ultra Leather - it seems to wear the best.

You can contact JSI for cushions. We had Jan do ours as she will give you a quote. She recommend the ultra leather over fabric and it was the beat money spent. We would not want any other fabric .
