Thanks for the encouragement.

I have a few questions, anyone know the answers?

I am wondering what size motor the Venture 17' can handle.
I have a mercury 9.9 long shaft and 2, johnson 20 hp reg shaft hanging in my attic (hoping the 9.9 is just right).

The cabin in this 17' is as big as in my 1981 srv 225 (22.5' Cuddy) not as much head room.

Can I put some pop up vents in the cabin to get some ventilation? I can see it getting hot in there.

Thanks in advance for any info

I have a 8hp longshaft tohatsu on my '73 V17, a 9.9hp should be fine
