When the wife and I sleep in our 35 lightning we just put our feet to the bow and it works great

You could try a thick memory foam and cut it into a wedge. Heard the electric knife for cutting a turkey or whatever makes easy work of cutting it. Would be time consuming but very doable.

That is exactly what we did. Although I had it done when I recovered the V-Birth cushions with cloth on top and vinyl on the bottom. The shop only added about 3" and it was enough to make a difference, though not perfectly level. Then we use a thick comforter doubled up at the end, feet forward. The cloth made things stay in place alot better that the all vinyl cushions that were previously in the boat.

I don't even know how that is possible, I know it is not possible in my boat unless I wanted every drop of blood in my head by morning.

If you go with option # 2, you may need to bring flower (roll her around - look for wet spot) or chalk to mark where you left off on her...

build a large ballast tank under the V birth, fill it and lowerr the bow untill its level.

2nd option, home town buffet, lunch and dinner every day. By late june the added girth should level it out once you climb up there.

I thought we agreed no fat chicks on our type of boats any more. The last time we had this conversation one of our alumni had a busted passenger bolster from this same type thing. At that point we all agreed on the fat chick thing. Anyone else remember this thread besides me?? Our friend claimed his girl friend brought her along and that he had nothing to do with it at all. LOL

When I was single there was this fat chick that lived in the apt 3 doors down and ...well she never blocked the view. I could watch an entire 1 hr TV show and she was still going...

How about an air mattress?

An air mattress will work. Just put more air in the 1 end. :)

phragle 04-08-2014 07:16 PM

it took me a couple to think of it, but its pure genius I tell you, pure genius!!!!! Have a waterbed mattress made,it would be self leveling and you can use it as a ballast tank when you need it!!!!! The chicks will dig it and it will earn you major style points. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!!! By filling it with the cooler lake water, you have now eliminated the need for an air conditioner!!!!
