My Venture 222 Restoration
I worked on this for months and I still have a ton of upgrades I want to do. But she came out beautiful.

Re: My Venture 222 Restoration
Well done. Looks great.
Nice to see a boat come back to life.
What are these strips on the bow? They look like they are attempts at running lights. I've seen people do this and they are not legal.

It was a cheap Amazon light strip nav light kit. I live in Wisconsin and do mostly river sailing on the St.Croix river. I never hooked them up and they are full of cracks and look like crap after one year. I don’t recommend them.

Re: My Venture 222 Restoration
Thank you! Subscribe to the YouTube for instant updates. I collet hobbies for some reason. I do everything from bee keeping to fly Paramotors.As for the boat. For now I’m working on my cooking and sink area. Everything is super bare bones inside. I have been teaching myself as much as I can. Reading and absorbing.

Re: My Venture 222 Restoration
Looking forward to seeing photos you have taken of the boat while paramotoring
Far more interesting than a drone.

Re: My Venture 222 Restoration
I had a an 1981 mac22 and made min to fit with enough room to fit under boom and then made another set about half the size. I used i believe 3/4" electrical conduit and a hammer to smash the ends flat. Worked well and cheap.
