notice some seats are very firm, cobalt for example, and some such as chaparral are very soft. what's the difference and will it matter over time?

Re: seat cushions

Probably all in how well you like one vs. the other … and then how well you take care of 'em. My cushions are the originals (40 years old) and are still in pretty good shape. Fairly soft, and I can't imagine they're anything special as Silverline was a mid-range boat.

Re: seat cushions

Foam density would account for the difference. The higher density foam should hold up better over time.

Re: seat cushions

Also a hard cushion will last longer than a soft one: less flex in the material and on the seams.
