Anybody have a set of cushions for a Typhoon? I would be interested in interior and/or cockpit.

They are pretty easy to make: just trace the shape of the berths (or seats) and cut those shapes out of c. 3' foam. I got a boat canvas place to cover them with sunbrella, but you could do that yourself too. Used cushions tend to be quite mildewy! Good luck!

Did you bevel the cushion to fit the hull and notch around the teak positioners?

oops, I meant circa 3" (inches) but I guess you can figure that out!
Answers to questions are no (hull), and didn't need to (positioners). I sent other info to your e-mail directly.
