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

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...

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.

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...

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

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!!!!
