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.

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.

Catalina 22 Sailboat '85 - $1000 (Lake Travis )
Need it gone ASAP. Make me an offer. I will post pics when I have a
chance to get up to the lake. Its been on the water for the last year,
unused. Could probably use a good bottom clean, and a carb clean on
the motor. I redid the teak, recovered the cusions, added a stereo
about 18 months ago. Has a solar charger and battery (battery was good
last time I was up there). Seriously just need it gone.
