Can you share your source? All the ones I've found want almost 5 for just the bench.

I would always go with fiberglass. The wood ones will rott and are heavy.

How comfortable are fiberglass compared to the wood? I have wood seats and the cushions seem to be about 3" thick.
The fiberglass seats seem to have a lot less cushion. Just curious.

Whatever fits your boat best. Glass seats are nice, wood (covered in glass) are generally a more custom fit....particle board if you have a Kachina. Staples are hard in aluminum, unless you're GT Jets, who probably has a nuclear powered staple gun that fires cryo treated 60RC inconel staples that polish themselves...cuz he's a badass like that.

Uhm..... They're called snaps.

Last time I checked, staples wont go through fiberglass either...

My Carrera seats utilize butcher block material in the edges for staples and screws.

I need to get working on that so I can get some pictures.
