damage

An area on the rear of the captain chair on my 2017 pontoon has damage where the vinyl rubbed against the metal railing. I found the damage when I removed the winter storage wrap that was installed by the dealer. I don't recall the damage when I dropped it off for winterizing. I'm hoping...

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

I am buying a 20' Bennington with a SPS Package, can I lift the boat with straps in the cradle position?  I have a lot of pontoon boats around me that do so and all look fine with no damage, but I noticed someone from Bennington said no straps.  Any help would be great!
