So we bought a 25 foot RSR-FB with the sun lounge option last year.
After we brought it to the lake, we noticed that Bennington had installed the incorrect brackets for the sun lounge cross bars, which made the sun lounge unusable for the summer. We bought it in for storage in the fall and our dealer was going to handle the warranty issue. They got the correct brackets quickly enough, but the holes didn't line up...so we were going to be left with visible holes where the incorrect (larger) brackets connected. So the dealer worked all winter and spring with Bennington to get either new seats or new seat skins. New skins unfortunately arrived yesterday, which unfortunately doesn't give the dealer enough time to recover the seats. (Me taking the boat up is no small task...I've got friends taking vacation days to help me, so rescheduling would probably result in another few weeks of no boat).
So, that means if the new skins get installed it won't be until October when I bring the boat back for storage.
And thus my question: After two years of use, will my seats have faded to the point that the new skins won't match? We keep the boat covered whenever not in use.
