Something to think about, Gunner.
Adding "cabinetry" to a very light boat like the Venture is something I
would not do. And I LOVE making things for my boats.
I say that because it adds dead weight to the boat,
takes up interior space, and _can_ turn out to be
more in the way that useful.
Go slow and minimal for best results.
what..this may be a bit much?

Marine plywood may not be necessary.
I've used a lot of baltic birch with good results
BECAUSE I use the West System system.
Three coats of resin to completely seal the wood.
It's not an extra expense for cheap wood because you really
need to do the same treatment to marine plywood too to keep
it from wicking up water.
But whichever wood you use, I strongly recommend that there
be no exposed end grain plywood. At bare minimum seal the
ends with epoxy. Better yet is to add solid wood stoppers
(also sealed with epoxy 
)
Well anyway...
At least you are right-side-up in both of them.
I'm still looking for a Capri 22.
Looks like that's going to be a bit more expensive.
Capri 22s? Those are somewhat easy to find. That being said..they
started production in the mid 1980s and there arnt all that many out
there.

When reading the messages..you will notice I post about 2x a week with
up to 40 boats at a time.
whats your maximum price? How far are you willing to drive to pick
one up?
also keep your eyes peeled on Ebay.

(The Cat 22 swing keels are FAST!!)
set up up a search on Ebay and check it once a week.
Btw...the Santana 22 and the S2 6.9 are head and heels faster than the
Capri..and Ive posted both for under a grand. There is one in
Phoenix for $500 (Santana 22) on a trailer that would need very little
fixing.
Want a family boat or a racer? The Capri 25 is much faster btw.
We are getting into less boats as the winter progresses.
