John,

How are your seat cushins attached? Also noticed that you have seat back cushions on each side...nice! Are the holes along the front edge used as drink holders?
Went to the manufacture web site but didn't find your boat on the pull down menu. Looks pricy but I suppose making lessor quality cushions would cost as much if not more.
Any chance of additional pictures of your cushions?

Thanks again. Boat looks great!

I have exchanged Email with the company president from an inquiry I send to the contact email listed on the website.

They do have the patterns from John's boat - and can reproduce them.

Yes - the holes you see are indeed cup holders :)

And yes - a bit 'pricey', but they are completely custom fit - which is the reason for the price. I am giving it a second thought, but I will get them - just maybe at the end of the season. I will also do a just a little more shopping around to see if the price is in line with what other options might be.

Maybe C Cushions should link up with John at CLC to offer them from the CLC website too.

Your boat looks great! Many thoughtful tweaks that I wish I had on mine.

PocketShip #1 is enjoying a major refit this spring. (It's not the years, it's the miles...) Should be done in time for the Shallow Water Sailors cruise in a few weeks.

Here she is headed off to the autobody shop for a re-spray. The transom has been veneered in teak, dealing with some cosmetic damage dating back to 2008 or so.
