Boston Whaler reversible pilot seat cushion. Uses 3" Ultra High density foam, and 3/4" treated plywood. This cushion fastens to your new or existing "Z" legs with included 8 #14x2 stainless steel screws.
Color Choices:
This cushion is made from UV resistant marine grade vinyl in your choice of
-Solid off white (match for 'desert tan' gel coat found on all 1977-appx 1993 hulls) -OEM parchment (dark being) with brown piping -Mid 1990's solid Boston Whaler 'white.' Boston Whaler's mid 1990s+ 'white' is not a stark bright white and will only match with the Boston Whaler 'white' gel coat. See last image.
NOTE: If you have a pre-1994 Montauk with the welded bow rail and plan on ordering the bow cushion now or in the future, you will want to choose either off white or parchment (the correct colors for your year range). The Boston Whaler white bow cushion does NOT have the notches for the legs of the bow rail so it will not fit correctly.
Note: There are two sizes for this seat. The regular is found on most hulls prior to the 1990's while the larger seat (click here) is found primarily on 1990-1999 classic 17' hulls.
Note: (For installation onto Z-legs) in addition to the wood screws provided, it is recommended to use 5200 Marine Adhesive to attach the cushion to the Z-legs. This is highly recommended for the 18" Z-legs which flex more than the 15" legs. To do this, cut a small patch of mesh off around each screw location and apply adhesive so the wood is adhered directly to the legs.
I never write reviews, but this was a perfect, deeply satisfying shopping experience, so I want to say thank you. Ordering was easy, the replacement cushion arrived quickly, and it fits perfectly. Could not have gone better. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your reply. New cushion looks great!!
Just installing it this weekend. Hope to be in the water next week. Took the opportunity to replace fuel tank and gas line. Twenty years old. Thanks again🙏
the bungee cords for the cooler cleats are too large and too short. mine came with 1/4" bungee pieces about 14" long. also, the "S" clip is of no use. I used smaller dia. bungee, and hammock clips to screw into the cooler. now works great.
Store owner replied:
I apologize about that. The bungees should be 18" each.
If you got a new style cooler cushion I would love to know the diameter of the handles so we can provide larger s-hooks.
Store owner replied:
Hi John,
Thank you for the review. Correct, there are no holes in the base of the cushion as some people use different after market Z-legs :)
I ordered my seat from Specialty Marine and adviced me that it’s the right size for my 17 footer Montauk and sure is, it fits to the T. Thank you Specialty Marine

Our apologies, these are of course counted by hand and human error occurred. If you are ever missing something please feel free to reach out and we will gladly send it out.
Fit just right, and the color difference is minimal. 1994 Outrage
Store owner replied:
Hey Steve!
Sorry about that! We are happy to switch it out for the correct color! Please email me at sales@specialtymarine.com and I can get you a return label and the darker parchment with brown piping out ASAP.
Nice fit and finish. Like putting a tux on this old guy. Thanks

Hi Ken, glad to hear you are happy about the cushion! We actually have an installation video for this particular cushion already :)

Simple install. Would be better if closed cell foam was used. Now putting an additional waterproof cover over the seat when not in use to prevent absorption. Regardless, great product.
Very thankful for availability of OEM Whaler parts. Have owned our second generation Montauk 17 since 1977. Awlgripped it once and replaced windshield once and rubrail twice. It remains mostly original. The cushion for the Igloo cooler ahead of the console is stained but still fully functional. Any way to remove black stain? We keep it at or dock on Naples island, Long Beach, and use it frequently.
Store owner replied:
Hi Elliott! Try checking out Nautical One - Xtreme Mildew Stain Remover OR Xanigo Mold & Mildew Stain Remover for the black mold stains.
Another great sale one of several I have had buying Items for my 1987 Boston Whaler Montauk 17 from Specialty Marine .com The seat cushion was well packed will fit perfectly
I also recently bought a 3 piece white with black inner rub rail kit from Speciality Marine.com It went on nicely with the help of a friend a longtime original member of the Boston Whaler Wye River Trotlineing Crabbing Crew . There were just enough rivets to do the job securely with the numbers needed to do the bow section
I bought my Montauk 17 new from Gates Marine in Deale Md its a true Chesapeake Bay Boston Whaler that has been all over the Chesapeake Bay region Ocean City Maryland and Virginia Beach
Thanks so much Specialty Marine for carrying these much needed older Boston Whaler items !
I cut the material under the seat to accommodate the legs so that they are caulked directly to the wood. I re stapled the edges of the material next to the seat legs. Works great!
We ordered a teak backrest for our 87 Montauk. The teak is beautiful and very well made. We didn’t realize how worn our old one looked until we received the new. Fit was tight, and I called customer service for advice. Followed their rec’d and it went right in.
