Bow seating
Clean shaping, controlled seams and a neutral two-tone finish that fits the original Cobia design.
Project overview
A full refresh without losing the Cobia character
This 2015 Cobia 296 received a complete seating reupholstery focused on one goal: make the whole cockpit and bow read as one finished interior.
The restoration keeps the original Cobia design language while tightening the fit, cleaning up panel transitions and giving the seating a more refined, current appearance.

- Forward console seating
- Aft and transom seating
- Fold-out seating surfaces
- Cobia logo details retained in the finished design
From bow to transom
A full interior restoration only works when every seating area feels like it belongs to the same boat. The panel proportions, color balance and seam direction need to stay consistent from one zone to the next.
Aft & transom seating
Fold-out seating restored with the same panel language and finish used throughout the boat.
What matters on a full restoration
Consistency is what makes it look expensive
Replacing vinyl is the easy part. The difficult part is keeping the fit, panel geometry, seam placement and tension consistent across very different seat shapes.
That is where a complete interior starts to look factory-level rather than like a collection of separately recovered cushions.
Project focus
- Complete seating scope rather than isolated repairs
- Balanced two-tone panel design
- Clean fit around complex seat geometry
- Marine-grade materials for South Florida use
- Refined finish without over-designing the boat
