Heinzir is NOT parting out his VN23

Post by heinzir »

Chiquita is alive and well. 8) I found a classified ad on another forum about a Venture 23 (NOT mine) that was being parted out. I posted a link to the ad on the Venture 23 forum for those that might need model specific parts. I'll post it here as well since many parts should also fit other Ventures (particularly the V22 and V222.)

I see the keel is 600 lbs. Wonder if it fits other models. Only 50 lbs lighter than the Mac 25 keel.

Though about inquiring re the compass for my Siren, but what the hull do I need a compass for anyway? Not making any long passages in it any time soon. :D

Whew! Good to hear that the Chiquita is still in service!

I *think* the V23 keel fits the V24 as well. V22/V222 has an entirely different shape. Google Image searches will show this.

What other parts are interchangeable, aside from hardware? Are the hatches the same?

Too bad the pop-top isn't the same. I really would like to replace mine.
