That's why there's a EDIT button above and right... Voice typing ain't all it's cracked up to be.

I had to turn off Google Voice voice then turn off The XT9 that predicts your spelling then turn back on Google Voice problem sol
So the reason for my post about how to do the cushions Christians is to cut it on a 45 with a hot night knife.

Keith,
When I made mine I used a foam and cut it with an electric knife. I did the hull angle by eye. It is doable if you take yourtime.
Now why do you need cushions? You strike me to be more of a diamond plate kind of guy. Just bring good pillows and blankets!

Keith, I made heavy paper templates of surface in V-berth, then measured up the thickness of the foam I had selected (5" I think) where berth met hull and measured the distance the hull extended outward. Your 45 degree estimate is close. I then laid template on foam and traced the pattern for bottom of foam with black marker and used an electric turkey carving knife to cut the foam, using the desired angle on the outboard edges. Actually very easy. I had three cushions, one to allow access to the porta-potty.
