I wanted to replace the rear backrest on my 2008 sx230. The Yamaha dealership tells me I can't buy the factory seats anymore. I brought the boat to an upholstery guy who informed me he can't get the right vinyl to match the factory. I'm not sure what to do about this. Any advice would be appreciated.

You might try: http://jetskisint.com/oem-parts-finder

They still show them on the parts list. I got my "new to me" boat last year and it came with a replacement seat for me to install. They had stepped on the edge of the starboard seat that is part of the engine hatch and cracked it right were it cantilevered over the edge of the support.

I just got word they had to refund my money due to the product not being available any longer. I'm going to try to call @JetBoatPilot. Thank you
