[C320-list] Converting Dining Table to Full Bed

[Scott Thompson]

Blocks are present on hull 653 (1999), and the cushions are even when 
the table is on the blocks. I would not trust the post alone to provide 
adequate support without these. We are second owner, so possibly the 
first owner did this. But I doubt it since the boat was fairly new and 
seemed pretty much stock when we bought her. (No longer after 19 years!)

Also, there is no "stop" on the support rod rather than down all the way. Plus, I wouldn't feel safe trying to tighten down the knob at a slightly higher level and expect it to hold.
