Champion Boat Seats

[bassmandoc]

In May of 2000 I had a rental storage unit in Monett Missouri. This unit had tools and such along with boat seats. It was broken into and the seats were stolen. The statute of limitations have long expired for the crime and I have forgiven the person that stole my items. The only items I'm interested in are the boat seats. They belong with my 1990 Champion which I still have and use regularly. There were 2 seats with the same pattern as in the pictures and mounted on the taper lock power pedestals. If you still have these seats and need to clear your conscience please contact me.  Larry Watkins.

Larry, so sorry to hear about your loss.  19 years is a long time ago.  Have you had replacements made?  Since you are using the boat I assume so.  If not I would bet a dollar to a Donut you can have the exact pattern made.

Deans Top and Canvas in Mtn Home may have made the originals?

I have 2 Champion butt seats I've been using. I don't really expect to find the seats and they are probably not any good by now. I have a lot of time since I retired and this kept me busy today. I also refreshed my memory of how to use this forum so maybe now I can post some reports.

I remember those seats!  Had a '91 Champion for years and I had all the seats recovered in 2012 including the chair and butt seat.  They matched the pattern perfectly.  I remember thinking back then it was pricey but turned out great and was happy I did it.  Slightly different colors from '90 to '91.  You can still get the pedestals and any seat on top to have the same patterns.

There you go Larry, can't beat that info.  Your most probably not getting your seats back but there are 2 threads here that let you know if you want replacements you got em.

I think I still have one of the large tapered pedestals in my building from my old champ.  Doing nothing but gathering dust if you have any use for it.

We have to have quite a bit of stuff upholstered at my work and we always use Gibbs in Republic.  They do a great job.

Thanks guys for all the input. Hopefully my next post will be a fishing report.

+1 on Deans top and canvas in Mt. Home Arkansas. They were for sure the OEM on those seats for Champion, and would be able to duplicate them. Ive had a few things done at deans, and always got good service and product at a reasonable price.
