was curious if you can still order upholstery for a 02 21v from tige rather than have someone make them. looking to replace everything but bow and drivers chair. if possible to still order any ideas on costs?
thanks so much

why would you want factory vinyl skins? the quality is crap. You can get heavier wieght vinyl from a seat shop and they can match existing patterns.

Hi, I bought an 2004 22V in 2005 and winter of 08/09 had to replace the vinyl. I did a lot of research at the time and there are several threads about this on Tigeowners. Basically, Tige vinyl was pretty bad until last couple of years (although you will see mixed reviews on even last couple of years in the forum). The 3 shops i took my boat to get quotes on new vinyl all talked about poor quality of the existing vinyl. I had new vinyl done and it was like night and day last summer. Much easier to clean and much less subject to any mildew, etc. Would highly recommend you buy new vinyl from other than Tige.

I ran across that on WakeWorld. I have no experience with them so I cannot comment on their quality.

I just had the same set of seats recovered, which will be picked up next week. All the shops I went to said the original material is crAp. I went to 3 different shops and was quoted $575 - $625 for finished out the door. I'm also not putting the bead wrap trim around the edges of the seats which might make it a little less expensive.
