i don't think they make a standard hole saw in that diameter.

If you can reach the underside, go halfway through from the top and finish it off from the underside. That will help prevent it from chipping out. If your deck is cored, follow the sage advice above. In fact, if it were me and the deck was cored, I'd think real hard about how much I wanted that vent.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
