I bought an O'Day 22, but the V-berth cushions were missing. I was quoted $600.00 for new replacements. Any suggestions on where to find either used ones or a lower cost alternative?

Look up video tutorials on www.sailrite.com. There are tutorials to take you from creating a template from your cushion area (not from existing cushions, it's what makes this tutorial so great for you), to cutting foam, to making the fabric covers. They even have a fabric calculator, so you know how much to buy. The tutorial also discusses a breathable bottom mesh fabric.
If you or someone you know is reasonably good with a sewing machine, you should do fine. Someday I may pony up for a Sailrite sewing machine, and then I envision cockpit cushions in my future...
