Gene, yup flat all the way to and thru the cabin, and full length cushion included (on our 84), same height from transom to forward bulkhead....that cushion you see under the crib boards is one piece & extends aft, all the way to the transom...no "2 story" storage beneath though.... (70's versions may differ). We keep oft used stuff in that stbd laz, life jkts, safety gear, 1st aid, air horn, xtra fire ext, heaving line, etc. Tool box, crib boards, paddles, stow where shown in the pic, and fenders get the space between....all nicely cushioned!Excellent pics, they really show the vastness that space!
Can someone refresh my memory about the starboard side? I seem to recall the lazarette opening to reveal a flat shelf, running all the way forward to the berth, with lockers on the bottom for two-story storage, as it were.
(that flat continuous space apparently was designed to accommodated the sliding galley, if ordered with one)...
