How to Upholster a Speedboat Bench Seat Backrest

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 details the process for re-covering a backrest that features a quilted fabric section, a fabric pull, a boxing running around three sides and a cover stapled to a backer board. We used CushionRite™ seating foam and a vinyl upholstery fabric called EverSoft™ that is exclusively sold at Sailrite®.
