Sounds like either the foam has deteriorated and crumbled a bit (got smaller overall) and/or the vinyl has stretched. Time takes its toll. Head for a canvas and upholstery shop...or, depending upon the make, contact the builder. Some top boatbuilders keep patterns in stock to service existing boats in the field fleet. Might be an option, but you'll have to call to check.
