Hello a newbies here who just bought a 2000 GEM two seater with a bench seat. I would like to replace this seat as my first step to restoring this yellow beauty.  
Need some help in finding a source for the seat, I need the bottom and back.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Both of those pieces are just 3/4” plywood with upholstery applied. Have never seen any place selling those parts new. If you have the original pieces, any competent upholstery shop could refinish.

I do have the original, but I guess I has hoping this was a previous owners amateur re-upholstery job.  
I will be looking for a shop near by that can do the work. Thanks for the quick response.

Are you near any good marine seat shops?  
They do this kinds of stuff blindfolded and upside-down.

I live in Green Valley AZ so not a lot of marine related businesses here. But low and behold I did find a Leather repair shop that mentions repairing boat seats on their website. I have begun communicating with them today.
