Me too, but covers are first.I need some mats.
I have a friend that works for a company that sells material. He sells the Seadoo specific material and colors (about 9 or so of them). The material is expensive but stretches 4 ways so it is easier to install. I paid about $29 a yard. I have yellow and one of the blues. I've installed covers on a few seats. Some of them I don't have the suppiles or the skills to do correctly. I've done some hellacious work though in repairing but I'm not finish guy by any means.
The guy that does my seats stitches some of them. Funny thing is that I don't pay any more if we use his material. He said about $15 if I bring material which I think is crazy. He is a bit strange but does great work. He offered to teache me how to do the seats but I declined. LOL Then he went up $50 Ha ha.In the pictures below is my 2000 RX seat cover that I bought from one of the vendors. I repaired the foam myself and it came out great. The upholstery guy was even impressed. I couldn't get the cover on correctly so I brought it to him. He did a great job and used a steamer and glue in some places. The uphlostery guy I use is does very good work. My opinion of course.
My handywork. LOL I used a 40 grit sanding pad on a 4" grinder to shape the foam. It was tedious.

That's really nice cover, will he sell me the material? I need the Aztec red color. Does he make the ones with two colors. I really want red and white? I have the two piece seats (98 gtx ltd)
I bought that cover from one of the vendors but I could not get it mounted correctly so I brought it to the upholestry guy. He had to steam it and I think he put some glue or adhesive to hold the center section of the seat down to keep the contour. I just wanted to give you a heads up that sometimes those covers are a Bear to install. Not that it can't be done.
That GTX is miserable. I did buy an air stapler to help me with the one piece seats. I do those. I don't do the 2 piece seats unless they look easy. I'm a sissy. LOL
This is a link to a vendor that sells Blacktip. I find them cheaper than other brands.
