How to Upholster a Knee-Rise Seat Cushion for a Speedboat

This tutorial video is part of our Speedboat Makeover Series, where we update the interior of a used Malibu speedboat to look brand-new. You too can update any used powerboat by following this video series. This tutorial covers the process for re-covering seats that feature a knee-rise, a boxing running around all sides and a cover stapled to a backer board. We used CushionRite™ foam for the filling and a vinyl seating fabric called EverSoft™ that is exclusively sold at Sailrite®.
