- 1985 Tung Hwa Senator
This old teak Tung Hwa Senator has some neat options. I posted the original brochure in the Taiwanese forum and in looking through it it had a hand drawn outline of an expandable couch. I went to the boat yesterday and looked at the couch base as I had 20 times before and didn't see it. I don't think anyone ever had in 37 years. I few taps with a mallet, some vacuuming and lubing the slats with paraffin and wouldn't you know this dang thing pulls out to nearly a double bed.
The only issue is there must have been supports along the inboard rail and those seem to be long gone. Anyone ever see this before and if so how was the inboard edge supported (Right side of picture)?
I am a good mechanic but a terrible carpenter. Any good ideas to easily make a support system that stows easily and is easy to set up?
