Default Need advice on where to buy new seats for my boat

I'm going to replace the seats on my 18 ' Wellcraft.


I can find nice seats on line at Overtons,com and other places. The
only problem is I can't find jump seats that fit. The lounge type
seats (back to back) are perfect for around $200 each but the jump
seats that face forwared in the back are too narrow. My exsisting
seats are 18 inches wide and all the jump seats I find are only 15
inches or so. Because the seats sit next to the engine conpartment
they need to fit correctly.

Do anyone know of a supplier of WIDE jump seats hopefully with
matching lounge seats as well.

Overtons does sell the matching fabric so I could re-upholster the
existing jump seats but I would have to make new bases and backs for
them because the existing pieces have a lot of wood rot!!!

Any advice on wood to use for the bases? or a wood treatment to
prevent rot?

Thanks
