Great lakes says this is a 2012 Sea Ray 180 DB Kit.
I have searched all models on the sea ray website and never in all the years looking through the owner manuals can i find a 180 of any sort, let alone a 180 DB

Also on their website they have loads of seat cover kits for 2012 bayliner 195 sport but again I can not find a bayliner 195 sport.

Would anyone who knows their models please have a look at the great lakes website and point out a seat cover kit for a Sea Ray 195 sport from 2006 up to about 2012 i believe would fit. I also think a 185 seat kit might fit.

None of their listings make any sense to me

This listing is off a Sea Ray 185 BR. Does anyone know what a Sea Ray 185 BR is?

The only thing that would make any sense to me is that on their website they call Bayliner boats 'Sports' and Sea ray boats 'BR'. Do they have this mixed up maybe? Maybe the sea ray listings should be SPORT and the bayliner listings should be BR? Have they got the models of their boats mixed up through their entire website?

if anyone could provide any insight into this would be great, but I also would love to know what kits are suitable for the sea ray 195 sport. It does not make it any easier when you can not picture what piece is for what cushion.

Thanks for any help
 
185BR / bowrider. There were various lengths 17.5 - 23 through the early 2000's when the renamed the line "sport". My boat, the 185BR was made from 1997 - 2001. As far as the seat covers, you would need to know what seat configuration they fit - there were 3 configurations.
 
Website listings from many companies can contain a lot of wrong and miss-labeled information. They have a phone number right at the top of the web page. Did you try calling them to confirm? That way you will know that you are getting the right covers the first time....hopefully!
 
There have been a number of different iterations of a Sea Ray "180" over the years... quite a few, actually. But never a "DB". I'll take a guess that it's a typo and they meant "OB".

Regardless, I don't know what's going on with those part numbers vs pictures. Those skins ARE NOT Sea Ray skins - nor would the skins from a Bayliner work/match up with a Sea Ray... different boats, different seats. The part numbers are actual SR #'s, but they match with different things.

185 Sport seats might fit a 195 Sport. You could download the parts manuals for each and compare part numbers. If the part numbers are the same (for the bench seat, for example) then they will absolutely fit. If there not the same... maybe, maybe not. But since the 195 is a little wider, I'm not sure - the seats might be a bit wider and made custom for each boat. Again, not sure. The bucket seats would be no problem. It's whether things like the bench, sunpad, etc are the same width from the 185 to the 195. Sea Ray might be able to tell you for sure.

Try ebay or Flounder Pounder marine... they would be a good place to look for things like this.

What about just having a local upholsterer make them for you?
