Lake Oahe is a 370,000-acre Missouri River reservoir stretching from Oahe Dam at Pierre, South Dakota north through the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation into south-central North Dakota — the largest reservoir in South Dakota by surface area and one of the most celebrated walleye fisheries in North America. The Mobridge corridor on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation side of the lake sits near the geographic center of Oahe’s most productive walleye water — the expansive Missouri River impoundment produces walleye fishing that draws dedicated anglers from across the northern United States and Canada who specifically target the Mobridge reach for its trophy walleye potential. The lake stretches approximately 231 miles from Oahe Dam to the Bismarck North Dakota area, creating a massive reservoir across the rolling prairie of central South Dakota and south-central North Dakota with 2,250 miles of shoreline. Northern pike, smallmouth bass, chinook salmon, and channel catfish round out the year-round fishery.

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.
