When I was prepping the boat for hibernation, I pulled up the mattress in the master stateroom and found a few large "soft spots" in the board supporting the mattress. When I took up the board, this is what I found:
For whatever reason, there are cut-outs in the support board. The white backing in the pic is simply the fabric covering the top. That centre square is between 2 and 3 feet on each length.
The mattress itself is reasonably firm, but not designed to provide support across that expanse and thus sags into the gap. Before I go and replace the plywood, does any one know why Sea Ray would have designed it this way? It's got me stumped. Surely to God they're not trying to save 2lbs of weight on a 50,000 lbs boat (dry). Is there a possibility it has some purpose?
