side vents for and aft on hull

[jesusv]

well, i have a '77 and the deck is still solid as a rock and im guessing thats primarily due to the ventilation in the hull. havent seen alot of other boats of its age that i can say last as long

It still begs the question, why didn't the 20s at least Center consoles have vents like their big brothers? I have small circular vents inside the boat on the sides but I haven't seen a 20 with the exterior vents. Just curious...

I hear ya bro! Idk? Again the 20s didn't have an inboard model no vents, the 23s had all 3 (I/O, OB, IB) I wonder if they were made for ventalation on the IB models but just kept the same hull design to make production easier across the board? Idk I'm just guessing.
Everyone has their own opinion on it which is interesting to me. I'm dropping the boat off for paint now ill decide down the road. Idk what imma do with mine yet. Now I'm up in the air about it.
