I just bought a 205 that needs a bunch of things.

I got a quote for a full new interior from affordableboatcushions.com which I’ve had great results with in the past for about $3200 shipped including redoing the back to back seats, all cushions and back rests, and all bolsters, based on patterns they have from these boats. Does anyone else have a recommendation on interior companies that I DONT have to leave them with the boat? Perhaps OEM company? I’m near Wilmington NC.

I need a fresh water wash down flip up cover, but I don’t know what it used to look like because it’s missing, is it a Grady specific part or does anyone know what company makes the wash down covers?

The boat was a factory no-bow cover boat, so no snaps, what company made/sells the canvases for these boats? It came with all the other canvases still in the plastic.

There is no potty in the head, does anyone have a link to what should be there? There’s not a ton of headroom so I’m assuming it’s kind of low profile?

What company made the factory ski pylon? Googling has shown through Grady white it could be upwards of $1500 for it, if they still offer it since most boats other than the 18 went to the pop up pylon. Has anyone ever used a 3 point pylon or other aftermarket one with good results that doesn’t hit a 3.3 250 cowl when motor is up? This is the one I’m looking for. Or if anyone has one for sale please let me know!

You found a company that can do all of your seats without having the boat on site? I've never heard of that. I think you found a unicorn.

Skip the ski pylon - get a Turbo Swing. It's much better.

Bow cover? You can source the cover the same company that made your other canvas - look at the tag. Maybe RNR, AJ or Great Lakes? You'll still need to install the snaps on the boat and the cover.

A porta-potti is a porta-potti is a porta-potti. Don't overthink this one. Just get the one with the smaller "holding tank" (roughly 2.5g, NOT 5g).
