new boat owner - what model did I buy?

[a19215]

Hello all,

I purchased a 18' 6" Champion boat with 120hp Evenrude, love the boat even though being an '89 the seats need recovering.

So my quest is finding replacement seats vs recovering existing seats.

I have one pedestal seat, two bench style seat in front of each consol and four seats behind the consol.

I will post a pic shortly.

Does anyone one know where I can purchase replacement seats online?

You can get replacement seats from BPS, Calbela's.

Here is a website you might check out.

Good luck.

Dean;s canvas most likely did the originals...give them your serial number. They keep the patterns on file. I think the site is deanscanvas.com or type deans canvas in your search engine...I replaced mine last year. I purchased the skins only and had installed at an upholstery shop to save shipping...worked out great...good luck

Yep, Dean's is the way to go, nothing better than the original and I'm sure they made those seats.

Thanks for the info guys!!!

What you have there is a pretty odd model. Probably the lowest production numbers of any boat they ever built. I do remember building the seats for it but I don't have any patterns or specs on them. If my memory servers I don't think they made more than 5 or 6 of them and if it ever got an official model name I don't know what it was. I could build seats and a cover for it but I would have to have the boat here.
Thanks, Dan

So I guess I have to get it recovered here.  I was hoping for a factory rebuild but towing it down south would be just too expensive.

Got my seats recovered, carpet installed and a custom cover made.  Loving the boat!!!

Looks great!!!! If you never found out what model it is you can call Stratos boats and give them the hull id number and they should be able to tell you. It looks like a 184 super V,,,
