Jeff,
I took photos and some measurements last weekend and I finally got them up on
my website (a bit delayed; work kept getting in the way). Let me know if you
have any questions.

Jeff, I'm bringing a double air mattress with me if I go south this weekend
(I live about 1.5 hrs away) and see how the slight underinflation works out.
I'll take photos of the whole thing and take a few measurements for you.

Thanks Lori. This is helpful. I'd love to see some more pics, especially of
the stringers in place and a close-up of the cutouts and of the rounded(?) ends
of the stringers.
FWIW, I'm thinking of using a double-size air mattress, which should fit
nicely widthwise. Most are 54 inches, and I measure a 55-inch width of the
narrower (port) settee. Lengthwise it may be a bit of a squeeze. Most
mattresses are 74 inches, and I measure 70 inches at the short (fore) side of
the new berth. But I'm thinking it should work if I keep the mattress slightly
under-inflated.
Anyway, thanks again.

Jeff,
they were 2x4s cut down and rounded along one side to fit into the stringer
notches, 5 all together, each slightly different in length to account for the
curved width. I attached a pic of how the inside looks bedless (I left the
photo pretty big so you can see detail). If you look closely you can see the
cutouts for the stringers with the topping strip. The wide trim strips
lengthwise under each berth were replaced with thicker mahogany but level with
the berth, with a removable finishing trim that fits in with dowels along the
top so there is a lip for the cushions again.
I'm planning to visit my boat this weekend for a fix and will take a few
photos to put on my somewhat neglected website.

Lori. What size boards did you use for stringers? How many stringers do you
have? Thanks.
