1949 Ventnor 20’ Runabout

A meticulous frame by frame restoration of a 1949 Ventnor 20' runabout is the next project for Van Dams.  Like some of the other restorations tackled by us, the project will be a challenge.  She's got some hardware, but that's about it.  The hull is badly out of shape and much of her deck information, including the fin, has been lost over the years.
We're gathering all the information possible from restored boats, publications and archived photos to bring her back to better than new.
An original and correct Graymarine Fireball, which is also being restored, will power her.  When finished she'll make her home in Northern California.
