Bow Filler Cushion

[Big Block Power]

Well I've always wanted one in one of my boats. I finally just had one made. Not sure if we will ever use it but fit now it's not coming out. Plus the wife doesn't know I had it made. She never saw a use for them. She won't care either.lol Everyone that's has them loves them. I used all factory vinyl.

Looks stock for sure. Do you think people will lay out up front now where they couldn't before?

[Big Block Power]

To be honest it's hard to say if they will spend more time on the bow. We don't have real young kids. If we did then this is a great option. My wife and her daughters talk up there allot so I'm sure they will like it. It may just free up more room in the whole boat over all. Only time will tell. I sent then pictures of the factory filler cushion do it would match.

I want one! My boat never had that as an option - or if it did it's long since gone... How did you make this magic happen?

[Big Block Power]

Shoot a picture of your bow. Is there a little ledge there that it would sit in. I brought it to the upholstery shop and they made it with the help if factory pictures. $300.

Sigh... No lip for it to rest.

Nice Deere though.

Bummer. Not my deer. Those are from a guy that had the factory ones in Texas. He had his 220 for sale for awhile. I've been shooting the breeze with him and I asked him for pictures so I could match them. Actually I tried to get him to sell me them that didn't work.lol
Well went to pick up the boat last night. Two and a half hour drive one way and 300 miles round trip. They were supposed to have the boat outside and guess where it was. Yep inside the shop locked up. I work 10 hours a day took of Monday to get it to them got the chance to get it Thursday the wife had crap going on so it didn't mess her up seeing that she drives the truck everyday and came back empty handed. Found the owners phone number on the web no answer. He lives on the corner not home. Left a message on there answering machine. Can't wait to hear there reply too how they are going to solve this. I work Saturday and going to the lake Sunday. I really don't want to drive there tonight on the holiday drive day. Going through Milwaukee is worse than Chicago now. I told them they could bring it to me. Or it's going to cost them I'm thinking only $.52 a mile I'm a nice guy which is about $150 I think that's more than far.

That stinks! I'd be less than happy about that one too! With my schedule te way it is, I have very little flexibility & something like that happening would be pretty frustrating.

We have a factory BFC and loved it last summer. The kiddos tended to migrate and ride up front and the adults in the back.

[mattzkatz]

Common spot for the kids and nephew. Last trip out last Oct...water was PAINFULLY cold! Of course the kids didn't mind and I didn't in my "earlier" years! Lol

Liquid if you look real close at Matt's picture in the front by the garage can. Or his kids fort.lol some boats just have starboard blocks for the cushion to rest on. Just screw ththem in from inside the storage compartment.You could add them and your good.
Looks nice Matt. Glad to see them wearing life jackets. I wouldn't want you to get any grief for that.

[mattzkatz]

Lol...right. Don't need the Internet "coast guard" stoppin in and checking me out! Lol...did a little more research to prep for this summer. As long as we're at anchor they can be out of a jacket (naps, lunch, etc)

Here's what the "ledge" looks like on mine

[mattzkatz]

Let's try that one more time (helps to copy the pic before pasting lol)

Sadly, no lip on mine.

Nice gun though.

I still think you could make your own ledge pretty easy. Do you have pictures of your bow. Now I'm getting personal.lol
