Looking for Original Seating Manufacturer for 2003 Hurricane Fundeck 218

Does anyone know who originally made the furniture for 2003 Fundecks?  I talked to Veada and they said that they've only made the seats for the Hurricane Pontoons over the last couple years.  I have a huge problem where I dropped my boat off over 4 months ago for a guy to redo the interior and he won't even call me back at this point.  As of two weeks ago, he had the thing torn apart and nothing done.  So now that I've lost the summer, plus the 700 I've given him, plus the 700 for my slip at my marina, I think I'm going to just purchase new and I was thinking if I can find the OEM, then I can just buy the covered cushions and backs.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Absolutely infuriating and frustrating situation that no one should be in.

    I'm afraid I don't have uplifting news to help.

    Hurricane, themselves, make the bench seating for most of the boat models (there are exceptions mostly regarding pedestal and helm seating).  Unfortunately, they only have patterns back to 2008 model year.  This leaves you with going to a reputable marine upholsterer in your area (which I know you thought you already went to).  They usually match the original color/patterns pretty well.

    Thanks CJ.  It is frustrating.  I'm contemplating just replacing all of the furniture with Veada seating.  This won't be cheap though so I'm not sure if that's the way to go.

    Are there other marine upholsterers in your area?  Your base seating material may still be in good shape.  Maybe your local Hurricane dealer has a recommendation.  Either way you go, when it's finally done, post some pics.

    This is what I did.  Less expensive than replacement and the guy told me the bases were in great shape.
