I think the bunk cushions are the same as yours. The shelf in the cabin just uses up some of the flare in the bow area. I use hammocks to store gear in that area, and stow the side curtains against the hull side behind the hammocks.

Rusty, here are some more pics of the cabin, which is very well designed. It's very comfortable for sleeping aboard and the bunks are 6'5" vs. 6' in the 23 Sceptre and with much more light in the cabin. Moesly was very clever in putting the hatch on a sloping surface, which makes it easy to crawl thru, plus the curved hatch makes a great air scoop when it's open, so ventillation is excellent, even with hatch open just a few inches. There is velco around edge of hatch with a mating screen and a screen on the door, so cabin is bug proof (except for no-seeum's! Cheesecloth will keep them out, but then air can't get through it either!) The original mouse fur started coming off on stbd side so I just cut it off. Need to redo that one of these days! I have a large oval deck pipe with 20' of chain leading into anchor locker, with a roller bracket, so anchoring is quick 'n easy. Denny
