Forum Discussion and Opinions
I have a 1978 23 ft Sea Craft that I am remodeling. The guy that is remodeling it suggested taking the vents out of the hull sides forward and aft and glassing them in. My first response was that the vents kind of made it look more like a classic Sea Craft and why would I take away from that look. Since then I have looked at several forum remodels and see that others have taken the vents out as well. Now Im kind of sitting on the fence and wondering what all you folks think is the better way to go. Its an outboard boat so the vents are not functional at all and could actually allow water into the boat. The remodel involves installing a full transom and bracket as well as a bunch of other functional and cosmetic features to enhance its fishability and ride as well as making it look "new" again. What would you all do and why? Thanks for your opinions and advice in advance.

Right on Don!!!!
There are several old threads addressing this very issue. Do a search and enjoy the reading. OH BTW: My vents are still there, they look good in there, my '78 deck is still there and water don't get in there

Any of you 23 guys just glass your own louvers flush into the hull and get rid of the vents?

With the amount of work some people have done I figured someone has it on theirs, but I've never seen it on a CSC.
