The cushions on Suhana are all in good shape, but they're the old C&C beige/brown stripes. <http://sacsmarine.com/wp-content/uploads/545641_0_080620101113_2-500x375.jpg> (not my image)
Those cushions are really well made and mine are in great shape. However, there was definitely boat funk stunk right into them. We removed all the covers and washed in the laundry with a bit of bleach then air dried. I also took the foam home a few at a time and soaked them in a bleach solution (a few percent, not too strong) in a kids wading pool out in the driveway. Those foam cushions sure hold a lot of water!They took days or even weeks to dry but the stink is gone. I like to think that the cushions are now "reconditioned". Just washing the covers made a big difference. Getting the buttons back in through the cushions is another project for another time :) Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto On Sat, Dec 19, 2015 at 3:24 PM, Gary Russell via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I had the cushions in my previous boat (35 Mk II) done in UltraLeather. > It's a little pricey but incredibly durable, comfortable and attractive.
