Need web site/source other than dealer for seat cushions, decals, ect. for my '99 Challenger 1800 which has orig. 49 hrs on twin rotax engines. Cushions are great, but there are some marks on tan helm,co- pilot seat that bugs me for resale. Decal on sun lounger is fading from cleaning. Original cheepie Clarion am/fm cassette radio ng also. Orignal grey cover starting to go. Would like to replace as well. Looking to sell, motors are great. Looking to sell at best price. New axle on shorelander trailer also.

Seats/covers would be hard to find from other than an OEM, unless you find someone who has bought a dealer stock that has stopped selling the boat lineup. I chose to re-cover my own, but they are different from your pedestal seating.
Best bet there is your local upholstery shop, or try eBay for odd parts. Decals are inexpensive, unless you're looking for the larger ones. The stereo can be replaced with any marine grade unit, try www.overtons.com or www.westmarine.com .
The original Seadoo boat covers are not cheap, either, and those, too, can be found on eBay at times.
I'm sure you have tried cleaning the marks on the seats. If not, try 3M Marine Vinyl Cleaner.

Thank you for your reply. Since the overall interior/exterior of my '99 1800 is like new as it sat on trailer for 2 1/2 years with less than 50 hrs. on orig engines, I do have access to cushions, a faded sunlounge decal, from my local dealer. Will have in their shop soon for old oil/gas removal, full mechanical ck out, ect. Seadoo has parts & recommended since I will be paying dearly for shop work, I should be able to get some discounts on the items I want to replace on boat. The pedistal seats are unique to this boat, but the 4 ea. cushions are pricey.
