Thank you Gary. I know you mentioned that to me before, and I looked at that photo but couldn't seem to make out which side it is hinged from. The opening handle being in the center doesn't seem to be a clue either. I will email Michael and ask him to have it hinged on the left. Thanks!

You don't think the fabric selection looks straight out of the Bayliner catalog? I believe now the snap curtains are only one color now - sort of a light cream color.

After seeing that freakishly tall radar arch that I asked for it to be made 6" higher, I'm starting to question my bold fabric decision!

I guess some people subscribe to the notion that "if it is worth doing, it's worth over-doing!"

FYI; There are 2 new Venture 23 Sports for sale at Y Marina on the Oregon Coast, and a new Venture 23 at Master Marine in WA.

Harvey, Count me and Joanie in for the 2021 FH CBGT! Hopefully it will happen provided it is safe to have such a gathering. Let's plan that the gathering will occur and give us something to look forward. If it turns out not to be safe for the event, I'm sure the county and port will issue...

Harvey, I was just curious. Your current bike looked really nice and I know you have it set up nicely.

Isn't that one of those "Honda-Davidsons"? What are you looking for that your existing ride doesn't offer?

Perhaps see if bumping it is really an issue. I really like Mike's suggestion of having the breaker near the switch, but since your's and many others are back near the batteries, install a second breaker that is quickly accessible at the helm? Good safety item.

I think access to the switch when your on the foredeck might have some good utility like when needed to "dip" the anchor back in the water to wash the mud off. However, I would caution you to make absolutely sure it can't be accidentally bumped, like when reaching out the window from the helm...

Nice! I can virtually smell the fiberglass & resin, and feel the dust!

Are you headed down the highway fast approaching a low bridge right now? :xlol

That's shaping up to be a really fine boat. Someone's going to be very lucky to have it!

We bought a pair of the West Marine folding chairs and they worked quite nice in our 22. They have backpack type straps so are perfect for taking to the "party barge" at CBGTs. They seem to be very sturdy with good rubber "feet" and work for seating in the cockpit when underway if needed.

YES! Like Tom Magliozzi of Click & Clack use to say; "Something dissimilar but not totally unlike!"

Thank you guys for the comments, and some things to think about in selecting a name for the new boat. Right now the working name is: Covfefe :roll:

Rob, I'd really like to see photos of your 525watt solar array, I imagine on a summer sunny day it does a good job of charging your batteries. If no photos, where do you have them mounted? How many LiFeP04 batteries do you have and how many Ah? I assume you need the 24v system for your trolling...

If you got the Victron BVM 712 battery monitor, I believe it will also give you the voltage of the starter battery, independent of the house battery. I would think that monitoring just the voltage of the starter battery should be enough since other than starting, it shouldn't have much draw.

I got a quick note from Mark today. The subject of this thread is indeed the boat NMI is building up for Joanie & I - very exciting? Wait to you see the upholstery color selection! Anyone care to throw out any name suggestions?

Hey Mark, Is that by chance the Venture 23 that is being build for me? Marty at Master Marine just sent me some photos of my build. Is this one and the same? - Steve Pettyjohn
