Hi all,
I guess I will have to get 2 cushions made. Can't find any anywhere. Catalina direct seems to only sell complete sets.
I have a traditional interior.
I need the port settee bottom and the inbd quarter (behind the stairs) berth ones.
Does anyone have them at home (for us northeners), or will be heading to their boat down south? I would really like to get the dimensions and a sketch of these.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jay

Have you talked to CD? They often have more options than are apparent on their site.

I had my interior cushions made by a auto/boat upholstery shop. They came out much nicer than from Catalina.

Do you really plan to sleep behind the steps (under the cockpit sole)? The outside quarterberth cushion makes a comfortable bed for one--the inside cushion offers a prison/coffin-like space for another person, or (without the cushion) a nice storage area. We never used that inside cushion, so I had it shortened to serve as the "bridge" cushion for an athwartship queen-sized bed in our dinette interior.

Just sayin'...

Dave
Until you just mentioned that space right behind the steps I had no idea it was even possible to squeeze a person in there! Let alone get a good night's sleep there. As you mention it's storage for my exterior cockpit cushions and my solar panel. I'm very glad you created that "bridge" cushion, now that Passage came into my stewardship I use it frequently for just that purpose. I built a plywood backboard to bridge the gap and with that cushion it serves as a large and comfy queen size bed. The gap between the edge of the dinette seats and the starboard settee is about 22" wide and 58" long.

Edit: just sayin'
