Please describe the project specifications

The client wanted to add a Sunpad to the bow of his Cruisers 520express. He wanted comfortable lounging with an adjustable back rest, and additional seating along the sides for when he is entertaining many people on the boat. The middle sections match the designed Sunpad location, and we expanded onto the sides of the cabintop to provide the enlarged space for entertaining. We doubled up the track and zipper attachment at the bow to allow the storage cover to zip on to the same deck attachment.


What is unique or complex about the project?

We were very pleased with the balance and shape of the design. We fit the main Sunpad in the designed area molded into the deck, but needed to remove the plastic cupholders that existed from the factory. We increased the thickness of the Sunpad so that we could put cupholder inserts directly into the cushions. The articulating backrests have a plastic support which allows for the cushion to be set at multiple angles. The cup holders were placed to be convenient when lounging in just the middle section of the Sunpad, or all around when entertaining.
