It can be done with relative ease if you are handy with wood. Basically it
requires the addition of a furring strip the length of the seats and
building a wood grate to rest upon the strips. When not in use the grate
rest on the cockpit sole. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how
you look at it) the potter cockpits aren't long enough to produce a full
length berth using this method.
