Bow filler cushion in a 20V

[22ba]

Since Tige doesn't offer one, has anybody made one or had one made? I like to have one made this year, just looking for ideas on the best design.

I make my children lay in the there and I just walk on them, works out pretty well....except when you step on a sensitive part.

I entertained the idea of doing this to put a sub down there but in the end I got lazy. Keep us posted if you do something.

I would be interested in this too.

i have always wanted one for my 22i also, but have never seen anyone that has made one.

They made one in 02. I had one in my 20V. Actually 3 of them as 2 of them broke

So they were made pretty well then? haha

Was there a shelf that they sat on, or did they have some type of support from the floor?

There was a little ridge like the boats today. No support from the floor. With the kids it was no problem. Both of them broke when my 265 pounds stepped on them. The 3rd one we double layered the the bottom for strength

Where these made by Tige?
I am pretty sure that my 07 20V does not have a lip. We had two filler cushions in my previous boat and they were great when kids were young but now with them all grown up and the size of the bow I am not sure whether it is worth it.

I suppose and upholstery shop can make a filler set with some type of frame that can be collapsed. I have seen this done on other boats and if the shop is good it can be made to look like factory.

We have taught our dogs that they cannot sit on the seats in the back but we used to let them ride up front with our daughters when they where young. We kept towels up front tucked under the bow cushions to deal with dogs paws.

Last year we re-trained our two remaining labs that the bow seats are also off limits now. Our two miniature Dachshunds are too small to hurt the vinyl as long as their nails are clipped.

One of the labs still loves to go up front and catch the breeze while our younger one is content to lay in the space under the dash. She gets in the way once in a while but better there than on seats.

Yes they were made by Tige. The 3rd one I had modified by an upholstry shop

I will re-check bow but I don't believe there is a lip on the 07.

[22ba]

Yeah, there is no lip on my 08.

no lip on 07 either but a fame could be made and extend filler to white door on driver side.

I may get a quote on the next sunny 50 degree day or warmer. My first year warranty expires April 12th so it is going on water to make sure Speed set is not surging anymore and to get a couple of interior items documented with dealer again that they were first year items.

Since I only work partime right now I have lots of long weekends to try and get done.
