Grady White Boat Seat Repair
We are fortunate to be a distributor of the two vinyls used in Grady White boats.
SELECTING A COLOR
If your Grady White boat is older, the vinyl may be a slightly yellow version of white. This is known as "Sea White". (LINK)
if your Grady White boat is newer, the vinyl will be a more true white. This is known as "Chalk" (LINK)
If you are wanting to go ever more "white" you should consider the color known as "TWO WHITE". (LINK)
VINYL I MAY NEED:
#1: Your seats, bolsters and leaning pads are likely made from the "pleated vinyl". (LINK)
#2. The rest of the vinly you see on your boat that does not have the channels in it is just "flat" or normal marine vinyl. (LINK)
#3. If your are stapling vinyl into wood, you will want to hide the staples using something called "Hidem". The staple rests in a groovy or channel that is hidden. It looks super sharp! (LINK)
#4. For those whoe are repairing a seat using a sewing machine, You will likley want to use "Welt." This is the round corner trim that you see a the edge of the seat. (LINK)
#5. if you are sewing a repair, make sure to use UV stable thread (LINK)
