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.


Ask and yee shall receive....

Gun-Ner!!@&*

San Francisco is not exactly in trailer range - for a boat
with no trailer.

Try A-Gin.

Sign up on the Free Saiboat group..find a $500 trailer and come and
get the damned thing.

You getting mighty picky when I find you a decent boat aintcha?

Damned young puppies want the moon and the stars! Spit...shuckens!

As you said..there are only 1500 of them in the entire
HewNItedStats...so ya strike while the iron is hott!!

And dont wait too long before calling the guy..it aint winter out
here..so someone will snag that pretty quick.

Hell..buy the boat and we can store it here until you can come get it.
Ill go get it for a hundred bucks to cover the gas. Or pay the slip
fees until you can come get it.

Know any truckers deadheading a flat bed back to Texas? Talk to a
broker. But buy that sucker! You wont forgive yourself if you dont.
