I tried putting the table in my boat (hull 447) for the first time and it works fine folded. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be anything mounted to hold up the leaves when it is unfolded, just a piece of wood oriented fore/aft mounted on the underside of each leaf. Is there supposed to be a metal support like the small side tables? I think this is the first time the table has ever been in the boat since construction, so I wouldn't be surprised if a piece was missing or lost.
