Hunter 23.5 Rear Berth

[RLynnRea]

I recently purchased a 1994 Hunter 23.5 that had experienced water in the cabin so the rear berth cushions had been discarded. I have replaced the rear plywood/laminate board and the port side plywood/laminate board, but now am moving on to replicating the rear berth cushions.

Can someone post a rough drawing of the shape of the rear berth cushions for the Hunter 23.5 please? In looking at available 3" foam, it appears that 80" may be the longest easily available from sailrite, so I am wondering about how the originals were shaped. I am assuming that they are 3" foam like the rest of the interior cushions. So any drawings or pictures would be very helpful. BTW the laminate on the inside appears to be matte almond formica.

Have you investigated using an air mattress? In the H26 a full fits perfectly in that space. I have cushions but tend not to use them if I'm sleeping out.

It has a curved funny shape and is cut on a bias on one side of one piece.

I can trace mine out and take some pictures if you can wait a while.

I am going to be away for the next couple of weeks. My daughter just got a job at Texas Tech and I get to drive the rental truck to move all her stuff and the dog. Should be an interesting trip I planned my route to visit the maximum number of Buc-ee's along the way.

Taking the southern route, stopping in Katy then up to 71 BBQ place in Brady I wanted to try and on into Lubbock. Coming home heading down to Vanhorn past El Capitan and across on 90 to San Antonio. Always wanted to visit Langtry I'll be traveling alone so this was finally my chance. I will wave from Austin as that'll be as close as I get to y'all.

Been there done that.

We were at Langley AFB for a while. In fact my daughter was born there.

The amount of effort it takes to get in and out of the rear berth makes it a no-go for sleeping back there for me. If you're sleeping on the port side you will literally have to slide over the top of whoever (or whatever) is sleeping next to you in order to get in and out on the starboard side. Maybe thats not a bad thing , but not what I'm thinking about when I get up in the middle of the night. An air mattress would take up more of the precious minimum head room back there. Maybe it would be ok for little kids.

Just make a pattern with paper. Lay it down in the rear berth and trace it out. Simple. You can get large paper rolls at Lowes, made for covering the floor.
