Extension of the V berth. I added a handle so it can be lifted up from the center and rotated.

Epoxy floor added with a polyurethane coat for UV protection and adding anti skid silica sand.

Added this unit that I fabricated for additional storage and second 12V fridge. I plan on putting a 700W microwave underneath. The shelf folds up and down. The entire unit is mounted on nylon rails that slides out the way to access under seat storage. For power I have 3 X 100W solar panels mounted above the bimini and a 2000W inverter. From the inverter I ran 2 X double gang sockets and a remote switch to turn the inverter on/ off.

Shelf folded up. I decided to remove the original cushions as we never sat in the cabin, we were always eating on deck. Cushions just seemed to be in the way 100% of the time for the way we use the boat.
