Skiatook Lake is a 10,500-acre U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on Hominy Creek in Osage County in northeastern Oklahoma — a quality recreational boating and fishing destination serving the Tulsa northern suburbs and the Skiatook and Owasso communities approximately 20 miles north of downtown Tulsa. The lake’s position in the rolling Osage Hills gives Skiatook a distinctly different character from the flatter terrain surrounding most Oklahoma reservoirs — the red cedar and blackjack oak shoreline and the Osage County ranch country surrounding the lake create a natural setting that draws boaters seeking a less crowded alternative to the larger Keystone Lake and Grand Lake reservoirs. Largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, catfish, and white bass provide a consistent fishery across Skiatook’s Hominy Creek arm and cove structure managed by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

Upholstery FAQ
Costs vary by boat size: Single seats typically run $200–$500, while a full pontoon reupholstery generally ranges from $2,500 to $6,000. For a 25ft+ cabin cruiser or ski boat with complex curves and piping, expect to pay $5,000 to $12,000 for a showroom-quality finish.
If the vinyl is brittle or “chalky” from the sun, a patch is only a temporary fix. For boats over 5 years old, a professional shop will typically replace the entire panel to ensure the new material matches the structural integrity of the rest of the seat.
These are signs of microbiological staining (mold/bacteria) growing from inside the foam. While surface cleaners help, permanent removal often requires a professional deep-clean or replacing the underlying foam and treating the vinyl with an anti-microbial barrier.
Marine-grade vinyl (28oz or higher) treated with UV and mildew inhibitors is the industry standard. However, Sunbrella fabrics are increasingly popular for cabin interiors and biminis because they breathe better and stay significantly cooler in the direct July sun.
Most factory stitching uses polyester thread that breaks down after 3–5 years of UV exposure. Premium shops use PTFE (Teflon) thread, which is virtually immune to sun and chemical damage and often outlasts the vinyl itself.
