Capt D,
We've added a 2 inch high density foam to our V-berth. It has made a huge difference in comfort for this plus size guy. I've also widened the V-Berth opening. I know you wouldn't do this with the Ranger but for me on the C-Dory 25 it has made a world of difference on the ease of getting in, out and sleeping in the V-Berth. It also has helped in improving the air circulation and heat transfer. (2 inch foam not shown in picture)
I really would prefer to have the dash on the 25 made like it is on the Tom Cat so that the entire v-berth is open at the same height. Changing the whole dash seemed like a bit too much work though. I still need to figure out a trim for around the new opening. I probably will go with a mahogany trim. I'm just waiting for a "round to it" to get it done.
