Building a sofa for Carver 355
I started back in January. The wood frame is 1/2 exterior plywood. I made the legs out of poplar (which stained very close to the teak interior). There is more storage than with the original, and I left the bottom out of the 'L' so its easy to get to the gas valves. One thing I would do differently, I bought firm polyfoam from Walmart (online). I would order regular density, because to me, its a little too firm. If anyone wants the dimensions and rough diagram, just email to jerrygaggini@aol.com

Re: Building a sofa for Carver 355
If your gas valves are under the "l" i could see you had a problem as that L is a pain to move. They must have improved the 355's as my 98' has the fuel selectors ( i assume that's what you mean by gas valves) forward of both engines in the center of the boat, just pop up the center hatch and they are actually easily accessible.
