1st Night Aboard

Post by RGrew176 »

Managed to launch on April 22nd. Tonight is the first time this season I am spending a night aboard. First of many I hope. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and more boats will get in the water soon.

Hey Rick,

I just planned my first nigh as well. The weather our way is finally breaking? I left this morning from Cleveland on the way to Toledo. We are moving west of Toledo and docking there this year. Planned on stopping half way at PIB for an overnight on the mooring buoys and I didn't even get to spend the night! Got there in record time and just trudged on to the dock in Toledo. Hope your night went well! I have the same model boat you do only one year newer and am planning on replacing all the mattresses and covers this year. Any experience with that?

We love sleeping on the boat.
It's parked right in front of our place but we still spend nights on it. Especially windy rainy nights. I sleep like a baby.
Thanks

I just added a 2" memory foam mattress topper to my bed in the aft-cabin. Has made a lot of difference. Not sure if the previous owners slept back there or up front in the V-berth. The V-berth mattress is definitely a lot softer to sleep on but for me there is more room in the aft end. The aft-cabin mattresses are definitely to hard to sleep on comfortably.

The memory foam mattress topper has made it a lot better.

We replaced our aft cabin inner spring mattress with a 6" latex mattress this spring. We bought it from the foam factory. Someone here recommended them. It is about 1500% more comfortable!!

I looked them up online. Seems pretty reasonable prices and a great option since I will have to do some shaping to fit! Thanks for the recommendation!
