Some more cabin improvements

Shows the v-berth with extra panel in place for the extra length with a cushion in place. I just used a generic cushion that I bought at Lowes for use with out-doer furniture. Its nice and thick and should provide a nice camp-like bed for overnighting... You can also see the stick-on hooks and part of a nice extra storage device.

I installed a tube to place my long objects like paddle and boat hook, etc. I simply used a cardboard cement form (about $5) and painted it. Ill see how long it lasts. It would probably be better to use a fiberglass tube but I had difficulty finding one.... I built a simple stand to hold the tube up at an angle so the items wouldnt fall out. In such a small boat it is challenging to find a place to put everything so that it is easily retrieved when you need it.
