Rudy?

Don -Perhaps one of the denizens here will step up with a pattern. If not perhaps Rudy has them. See the link below.Justin - O'day Owners' Web

Can you wait till monday

I'll be at the boat this weekend and will take some measurements. As I understand you want cushions and back rest for interior. Later,Mike

That would be great!

Mike thanks, I would appreciate the measurements. Also, how is the back rest attached to the wall. I have seen it in pictures, but... is the back rest attached to a board? It looks like there is a shelf behind the back rest, is this true?

Mine is

On my boat they are mounted at a 90 degree angle to the bench and since the hull is concave there is space behind. Mine has what appears to be a 1 by 3 running from hull to back rest creating a 3 inch shelf. Some folks put cloth or net bags against the hull in that space below the window. Keep in mind if you spend much time sitting there that could be rough on your head. I'll get you the measurements and a couple of photos. This would be a good time to think about how you might set up one of your benches for a double bed. Maybe the back could be removed and set next to the bench on supports? I'm still mulling that one.Later,Mike
