When you build a Gause, you’re not choosing from a catalog.

You’re designing something that reflects your style — down to the cushions.

From bow seating to the captain’s chair and tower seat, every cushion can be customized to create a clean, cohesive, and completely personalized interior.

The first decision is your primary cushion color.

Most owners choose:

Clean white
Soft gray
Sand or tan tones
Two-tone combinations

Your base color sets the tone for the entire boat. It should complement:

Hull color
Non-skid
Powder coating
Teak or faux finishes

This is where the design story begins.

Choose Your Stitch Pattern

Stitching changes everything.

Two of the most popular options:

Diamond Stitch

Adds depth and texture
Premium, elevated look
Strong visual presence

Straight-Line Stitch

Clean and timeless
Subtle and classic
Minimalist feel

The stitch pattern influences whether your boat feels bold or understated.

Add Custom Trim & Accent Colors

Accent trim is where personality shows.

Options include:

Contrast piping
Matching piping
Coordinated stitching color
Two-tone panel layouts

A subtle gray trim on white cushions feels refined.
A bold contrast stitch creates definition.

These small details make your boat unmistakably yours.

Design Every Seating Area

Customization applies across the entire boat:

Bow cushions
Leaning post / captain’s seat
Rear bench seating
Tower seat
Forward backrests

Your upholstery should flow from bow to stern without looking pieced together. That’s where thoughtful design matters.

Why Custom Cushions Matter

Cushions are one of the most visible elements on your boat.

They:

Define the interior look
Impact comfort on long days
Set the tone for resale value
Elevate the overall build

When done right, they make the boat feel complete.
