Hello Every one, Well I finally got around to posting these pjotos of the queen size bed in the main salon.
Pic #1 I bought some 1/2" Teak and ripped down to 5/8" then took off teak cusion retainers and cut 1/2" x 5/8" teak trim to length. Glued & screwed.
Pic #2 Bought 1/2" Baltic birch plywood and cut to size also notching for table. Coated all sides with 5 coats Pettit Vanish.
Pic #3 Bought 4" High Density foam locally and cut using cordless sawzall works really well. Then convinced my wife she could sew up a cover. I know she could do it !
Pic #4 Finally a good size bed! It works EXELLENT!!!
Over all it cost about $120.00 for material, Labor our time and well worth it.

Please see below

Paul helped me out. Thx

Devin:

Could you post these as pics on the forum? I can't get into shutterfly without registering an account. I'd love to see what you did.

Devin:

Okay, I just tried signing up but still can't see your pictures. Reading the fine print on Shutterfly I learn that I should be able to see the pictures without having an account. I'm not grokking what to do to see these pictures. Any idea?

Thanks,
Carlos

The correct format for image links is
(img)theimageurl(/img)

Replace the braces '(' and ')' with Square Braces '[' and ']'

I edited the original post so that the URL's did not make the page half a biscayne bay width.

Devin,
Great set up. I like the lip you installed to hold the "bridge" piece in place. And the green cushion looks good.

I have a similar arrangement, however my bridge locks over the top of the vertical edges. My QS air mattress takes up the slack and is very comfortable.

Only thing is when the bed is in place, its impossible to get around easily.

Jerry,

The rocking hasn't been to bad. Most rocking is bow to stern not much side to side

Has anybody done anything like this with the traditional layout versus the dinette layout?

I have a traditional interior and I just lay some 1" X 4"s across from one side to the other and then lay a queen size air mattress on top. The air mattress has an electric pump built in that you can use to inflate and deflate. Works great and set up and take down can be done in 3 or 4 minutes.

GaryB - Does the keel trunk get in the way of the 1"x4"s? That sounds pretty simple!

I don't have a keel trunk, mine's a wing keel.

I just lay the 1 x 4's on top of a couple of 2 x 4's (I keep my cushions at home)that run fore and aft to raise the 1 x 4's above the edge of the pieces that hold the cushions in place. If your keel truck is below the top edge of the seats you should be OK.
