Vetus Porthole

I had a local shop install my Vetus Stainless Steel Portholes, since they were buffing the boat anyway and gave me a great price. I supplied the hole saw since I was going to do it myself. They did a great job.

If you buy one of these portholes, the screens come with them. I was told they didn't and bought two, so I have two extra. The portholes aren't big, 5", but they are pretty and will give a little flow through ventilation.

Very Nice. Where did you buy them and how much?

I bought them directly from Vetus Marine for $107.00 each. Model PQ51. I see that they are $135.00 now. I bought them a year and a half ago and just got around to installing. Long story.

Those look great John!

Where we live any additional ventilation is a good thing. I'll add them to the list.

On the down side, I can see this C-Dory ownership thing is going to cost me some $$$$. Sad

Little at a time, piece by piece, as you need it, or just for fun. Wink

as funds dictate.

I put in the oval Vetus port holes. The ventilation helps a lot in warm weather (gives a nice crossflow).
