I'm looking for a replacement V-Berth insert - the trapezoidal piece, with foam that goes between the larger mattresses.
Perhaps someone else has replaced theirs and can recommend a vendor, or never uses it and wants to sell it?
The backstory - my son didn't fully latch the forward hatch and we were out on a fairly big day, taking water over the bow. Upon return, I found my forward berth pretty wet. I took the mattresses and the insert out to load them in my car so I could dry them out at home. My insert didn't make it - either someone grabbed it while I was back at the boat putting her away, or I left it sitting in the parking lot. Regardless, I'm now in need.
I'd hope to get an original covering because my mattresses are pretty much pristine originals and I'd love to have it all back as it was. I did email Catalina... but haven't heard back and don't have a whole lot of hope they could still provide any original fittings for a 17 year old boat.
I'm sure I could have a piece of wood cut and cover foam, but first I'd like to try to get an original... thought it was worth a post.
