Vinyl Damage on Dark Area of Seats 2574GL -2007

[Kimberly A]

Just bought this and have never owned a boat before ( hold your laughter please )
Only the dark colors of the seats and one corner in the back have this, anyone know what might have caused it and what the best repair is ? Recover the bench ? Dye the Vinyl ? other Many thanks

Not sure what caused that but contact a local vinyl shop and they should be able to replace the damaged areas.

BTW, welcome to the boating lifestyle and enjoy that Benny!

It looks "sunburnt", why only that color? Possibly cuz it is darker??? Or a different type/grade of vinyl.

probably stored without a cover. The seams are falling apart in the first picture. The seats need recovering.

Agreed, local canvas shop to recover all seats
