can anyone post some pics from there 208 .need shots of the gunnel padding and seat back cushins. have to have new ones made. also just redid the dash and side panals.will post pics of the work..1997 208

Talked to the local grady about seat cushins and gunnal padding. Told him I have a 1997 208 and he told me that grady dosn't carry parts for a boat this old. Strange because the boat is still the same today.A complete sunbrella top and side curtains from a 2006 fit like a glove.I am sure cushins...
