Advice for dog on boat? Dog shoes, etc...

I'm looking for advice for bringing my dog (8 month old golden retriever) on the boat. This will be her first time. Specifically, I'm thinking of some type of shoe for her to protect the seats. (My 2009 MB seat quality is awful; a bunch of the seat cushions developed small tears on their own soon after I got the boat (mostly on their bottoms/sides), even though I am extremely careful with them). I know that any shoes would need ventilation, since dogs apparently sweat through their feet.

I know this topic has been discussed before, but I can't find the old posts because the new forum's search feature is badly broken (can't just search for "dog", and searching for "dog boat" just finds every message with the word boat in it or results in a "Database error").
