Howd ya do it

I agree that it is important to vent for moisture and since restoration yards are probably tearing out rotton wood on a day to day basis I could see their way of thinking. However from a safety stand point gas fumes are a major concern. I'm not exactly sure but I think the CG has specific regs about venting the bilge on boats. Here is how I solved the problem on my Arena Craft to keep the CG off my back and made it look good at the same time. Note the holes drilled in the upper transom cap on the early restore pic. In the next picure of the boat lifted on the crane notice the two silver handles on either side of the swim platform that are actually vents going down to the bilge. I'm thinking of doing something simular on the 23 SC.
