Title: Cushion and mattress set giveaway
Post by: danmerlis on December 21, 2007, 08:47:26 AM
I just purchased a used C34 which came equipped with the standard blue fabric cushion set and pattern fabric mattress cushions.  One of the conditions of my purchasing the boat was that my wife wants to replace that set with a new set covered in ultraleather.  The original set are in excellent condition.  I hate to think of throwing them in a dumpster so I hope that another C34 owner might have need of these.  They are free for the taking.  My boat is located near Annapolis, Maryland.  Please backchannel me if you have interest.
Best, Dan Merlis

Dan,
I had a similar agreement with my wife when we bought our boat and the person who made our new cushions used our old ones to make the patterns for the new ones. If you're getting them from Catalina you may not need to do this but it was just a thought before you give them away.
Wonderful gesture for you to offer.
Have a Great Christmas,
Mike

dan : The most important thing is to give your production year?  Reason is that Vberths have changed over time and the cushions may NOT fit unless they're of the same production years!!    :!:

In addition to those issues, you need to check whether or not your old cushions have vinyl bottoms and are easily removable, compared to the newer ones which have the heavy particle board backing over the storage areas below.

 Thanks, Mike and Stu....  My boat is a 1999, MKII.  The lower cushions in the salon do have the board bottoms.

Will those cushions fit a 1992 model?  Can you send me a picture of a cushion or point me to something so we can see what color they are?

We have replaced our v berth cusions with a mattress but would like to get your cushions for the rest of the boat.

Our email is rgendreau1@cox.net

Thanks
