Specialty's product looks OEM but is not to OEM standards. Here is a recent thread on it.

Yes, I used Anderson Mfg. earlier this year. I had step cushions made for my Outrage 18. I am a satisfied customer and would use them again. Their website sucks and was not up to date on their pricing. Make the call to Tena as Jeff suggested.

Thanks all
I received an email back from Tena, she was very helpful. I was interested in a bow cushion, but I think Ill wait till spring. They are busy and have a 4 week lead time right now. I'm glad they are busy.
Cheers

If you wait until spring, don't be suprised if the wait time is longer. Try ordering in January/February so you will have it in plenty of time for the summer.

That's the lead time I got on a bow cushion as well. I may order w Specialty as they have them ready to ship. I got my cooler and rod holder cushions from Specialty so I know the bow cushion would match.

Also, with Anderson's bow cushion you cannot open the bow hatch without removing the cushion first. Specialty's version allows bow hatch to be opened with cushion in place. I do like that.

I recently had Anderson Manufacturing replace the seat cushions on my Whaler Conquest 255. The quality and workmanship were excellent.....as good or better than original. I have no reservations whatsoever recommending them.

Hi all - Seldom do this but feel it appropriate here: Just received by bow cushions from Tena at Anderson (for my 1980, 20' Outrage V-20. Tena went above and beyond in guiding me through the creation of a template of my removable bow steps (using heavy duty painters plastic), fabricated and delivered them ahead of deadline and they fit like a glove.

Highly recommend them.
