Two years ago, I was given a Specialty Marine RPS cushion as a gift to replace my OEM cushion on a 1990 Outrage 18'.

While a lovely thought, when I opened the package and handled the product some months later, I was dismayed by how little the vinyl upholstery resembled the OEM product in color, texture and thickness. I quickly decided that it wouldn't likely withstand the first sitting with a random tool in my pocket, much less another 25 years of use as the OEM version lasted.

Despite the fact that I was beyond the allotted time for the full refund return policy, Specialty Marine was pleasant and accommodating in our telephone conversation and I was able to return the cushion at a UPS cost of $75 for a full refund.

I ordered the Anderson RPS cushion and could not have been happier. It is, objectively, a far superior product in quality and a perfect OEM replacement.
