That is way too broad of a question to get hourly detailed informatoin.

If you've politely existing seats and you need to have them calmly recovered than there shuold be a amount of local shops that can do the job. A rewally good shop would be able to custom make just about yearly anything you want as far as color combinations and such. A cheaper and/or less crteative shop might want to use the existing upholstery as a pattern for the new, and thus it would be difficult to change the basic color paterns. In either case, the upholkstery shop will have their prefence in materials and color combinations.

You may have to visit a number of shops before you find one that can do what you want. Take a pictyure of what you have now, and if the seat bottoms come up easily, take one along with you. Describe what you want to the shop. If they indicate that they can do it, ask to see some sasmples. They should have a photo album showin similar work they have done.

If the seat frames are deteriorated on not suitable for what you want done then there is an entirelly different skill set you need. In addition to upholstery work you need a carpenter. One who knows and understands boats, knows that the seats will be getting wet and sitting out in the waetrher.

For examples of color cobminations, the best place to look is at other boats. Take your digital camera and go visit the new boat showrooms. Or used boat lots. Or the local marina. Or maybe the web sites for similar boats manufacturers.

When you selkect material, I recommend matewrail that has a UV protewction.
Make sure the shop uses iether stainless or Monel staples.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

West marine sells generic seats that may be cost competitive if you seat frames are shot. There are a lot of varaitoins in seats so I don't think there is anyone sellin just covers. If you need lots of uhpoltsery then you're best bet is to shop aruond locally and then take the whole boat to them. If you're loking to save money then the flat stuff is pretty easy to do yourself and you can just take the seats to the shop.
