Looking for 343 V berth filler cushion dimensions

Post by distinguishedmotors »

Was hoping someone has a 343 with the V berth filler cushions and might be able to give me the rough dimensions of the bases so I can get to making them.

Just got off the phone with Derrick at Cobalt Corporate and he said they do not have the templates, they do not carry replacements and they do not have a second party that Cobalt authorizes to recreate replacements.

Its a long shot, i know, but i figured i'd try here as its my best bet.

a few pics for attention and of what i'm looking for.

Hope they materialize for ya dm. These and other filler cushions can be unicorns with limited sightings in the wild.

I used to randomly email the folks on boat trader who were selling their boat asking if they would part with their cushions separately. It’s an option to consider. Others will chime in with possible dimensions for fabrication.

Since we didn’t welcome you officially last time, I’ll extend an official welcome aboard mate to you now. :D

Myself I guess I would just go to the upholstery shop and have them custom make them. And welcome

This. Bring a good shop the boat and you’ll never know they weren’t factory.

I’m surprised Cobalt doesn’t keep patterns for legacy products. My company has records going back 80 years and still sell spare parts for drives commissioned during D-Day.

Thanks you to all for the welcome!

Yeah I've got several upholstery connections but i know how it goes as far as custom second hand cushions go. quick, quality, cheap, pick two of the three, hahahah.

Purchased Holy_Smokes 343 with blue top 525s. Fixing a few things, updating a lot of things, adding a JL Audio stereo.

so far all new bilge pumps fore aft and mid, new sump pump with cockpit cooler drain tied in, revised the battery isolator switches, new house battery wiring, additional bilge blower ducts to oil coolers port and starboard for the texas heat and a ton of other littler stuff.

stereo has and will have no additional holes drilled in the boat. it will take some time to complete as this will be my company's demo boat for marine audio systems.

Ha! I had a hunch you were keeping the boat instead of "for a client". ;)

Can't wait to see what you come up with system-wise. I imagine we'll see some big JL cans hanging off the speedtop. I did some baby-step stuff, but sounds like you're taking it over the finish line and beyond.

Can't help you on the filler cushions. My guess is they're somewhere back in the northeast, where it spent it's early days.
