Just wanted to share a little update to the v-berth area - specifically those stupid horizontal cupboards that don't stay open. I picked up some gas struts from Amazon for about $15 (CDN) and installed them. They were pretty straightforward to put in, the ones towards the bow I needed to add a small (1" +/-) block behind them, the ones in the aft screwed right in. Now the cupboards stay open on their own and The Admiral is very happy.
These are the struts I got - they are way overkill for these small cupboards, but they did the trick:
