Also does anyone have any extras laying around with the actual upholstered cover that fit over the fiber shell? Or if there aren't any surplus around anyone who knows where I can get some?
if I can't rehab or replace the chairs for less than $50-100. I prefer to spend my money making the boat run and fish. I can always sit on a cooler if it comes to it.

I have one original left and several pedestals. You can buy new chairs to go on the pedestals for cheaper than having custom covers made to go back on them probably. Custom fabric work ant cheap. I have a pair of seapro seats to go in mine. I picked them up for $20 each. I haven't installed them yet. Im doing the cooler thing at the moment. I actually like doing that due to I only sit if making long jumps from point to point and the chairs get in the way while fishing. I like keeping the deck open. Look on the CL or internet or yard sales and find some used ones for cheap. Lots of people upgrade and near about give the old ones away.
