Anyone have a ballpark idea on what it would cost to have seats like these re-done? My center seat is fine, just the 2 buckets. I got a quote that I think is way too high, so I thought I'd ask here for comparison. Thanks!

I would say 300-350 where I live..May go new cheaper.
That's about what I thought it would be. Quote I got was substantially higher. I can get new ones for $405.
$365 for my Ranger seats from a local place in st. Louis. Look around some more...
Make sure where they are done that the correct material and thread is used for outdoor exposure to the elements.
$450 without the center seat in my area.
I can get those exact seats brand new for a little over $400. I think that's the route I'll go. Thanks everyone for your input!
Check with BassBoatSeats.com to see what they can do for you. They share ownership with PontoonStuff.com--and is a good company.
I've looked at bassboatseats.com, but most (if not all) of their seats are 2 pieces. The previous owner of my boat modified it to make the seats that are in it fit right (see pic), and I need to either have the ones in it re-done, or buy a new set exactly like them. The picture in my first post is of the exact seats that are in it now. They're made by Wise and have a 3 year warrantly.
Wise seats are for boats, but in my humble opinion, they aren't very durable. Kind of like Walmart clothes. I paid to get my Stratos seats reupholstered, and it was about $400 and it helped keep a local merchant in business. If you don't have the originals, Bass Boat Seats are nice but don't always fit easily in different boat hulls. I have put one set in a Bass Cat, and it took a while to make them fit and work.
Bass Boat Seats.com now has a set of one piece buckets they recently came out with. http://www.bassboatseats.com/collect...ton-boat-seats I just installed a set in my boat and they came out perfect. The only problem with your boat is that cut-out. If anything you buy is too wide,then there would be a big gap between the two. I would keep looking for a shop to recover over buying new if it were me.

Where did you have the seats done around st louis Stretch1?
I had the place that carpeted my boat quote redoing seats $750. I bought new seats for $250 from boatseats.com
1996 ProGator 200V
1998 Mercury 225 EFI
New Carpet
Seastar Pro Hyd Steering
Minn Kota Ultrex
Shop around... upholstery prices can vary greatly. Seek out privateers if you can - home garage shops can save you a ton. The nice part about reupholstering is you can pick the exact vinyl styles and colors you want. The newer carbon pattern vinyls are very sharp looking!
Where did you go and are you still happy?
I ended up buying the new Wise seats. They're decent. It's a 15 year old boat, so I wasn't willing to sink a ton of money into new seats, but wanted it to look a little better.
