Hi all,

Just took the Carver Montego 25 out of the barn and discovered that a family of raccoons loved the vinyl seating and panels. Needless to say everything has to go. I've been searching for replacement seats and panels, but can't seem to find any specific Carver ones and am not sure what replacement ones will fit. Any suggestions?

I would try an upholstery shop. I had a few panels that needed replacement and I had someone local do them. They look better than new. Good luck

Or do it yourself? We did ours, We did a complete replacement to all seating on our carver 356.

Hello
I am looking to
Replace vinyl on my exterior seats and benches. The upholstery company suggested getting the template or pre cut vinyl from manufacturer and he can simply remove replace. DOES ANYONE know who I would call for this? Thanks

Welcome to the forum.....Carver has been gone for some years now and anything that old would require custom made from scratch anyway. Then you can make it the way you want. Perhaps they did not realize exactly what you are dealing with.....good luck going forward.

That looks great! Did you recover what was there or all new frames as well?

Also, I agree a local upholstery shop is the best bet.

Actually, ours was not a recovery mission. We just did not like them; they were outdated but in new condition. So, I did all from scratch, wood and all. brand new design and made it with extra storage and breaks down Easly to get to full engine room access. If there is such things in these models :-D Also turns into a full bed buy removing the side and back parts. I may have posted all parts as I build them. If not and you are interested in seeing them, I can find and post them here to give you ideas if you are a DIY type.
