79 l25 berth idea

[Steve22116]

I'm working on a concept to change the forward berth as the Commodore doesn't like the existing "double" berth. The idea is to permanently secure the existing sliding panel then hinge a second panel, which would pivot to the starboard berth and be held by a couple of cleats. This would make entire forward area into one berth.

My cardboard template isn't long enough, but allowed me to check for rough dimensions and clearances.

Has anyone done something like this or see any problems? Steve

I am doing the same with my L25. it is a 76' model and does not have the table on the SB side, just the bench/couch down both sides. I am removing the trim and adding a slide out section that I can attach a leg support to. It will slide out to the compression post and secure to the post for additional support. Not sure whether or not I will do it to both sides.
