[C320-list] AFI cockpit table

[Pat Moriarty]

I have a teak table and it hits the pedestal but the end has been 
concaved so that it will clear but with a little rubbing. Don't know 
if it is the same brand as it came with the boat. Before you cut a 
leg off make a pine replacement and try tapering the end a little to 
see if that will clear, pine is a lot easier to work than teak and 
cost almost nothing in comparison.
