Ok I managed to get into the cabin today to snag a photo so people can see my stringers, maybe someone can help?





see how short they are? any thoughts?

I still havnt found a hull number on her but ive gotten a positive id on her. 1971 Venture 24 there are two differences which are listed in a post titled unusual stringers. if anyone have answers for me there I would appreciate it. and no I kept it way under 3k and she came with a set of brand new s...

Ok so we finally established that I have a 1971 Venture 24 I went to a mac/venture 24 group that has a lot of phots in their database and my boat is an exact match down to the pleather on the cover over the keel pivot point except for two details that concern me. 1. there a divider of some sort that...

well whatever the case is Ive checked the stringers under the cockpit and so far ive found nothing and no evidence that there ever was anything there

no viz I agree and sorry if I seem like I am coming off as ungrateful. I do appreciate all of the responses. I am impatient and young and I find it frustrating that sailing being a big part of the history of human beings has had such a poor time of properly documenting anything. I think its is prett...

LOL Doug ty for being a third party to say it. this is a common problem I see on the net sometimes I usually just shake my head and go whaaa? then the thought briefly occurs to me that their all on the phone, in on it coming up with responses to confuse me. anyway to clear up that last one I will st...

Before anyone starts in I did search this site and the sailboatowners.com site as well and everything there is a bit on the old side as in years. in my hunts found little in the way of helpfull infor on this topic and I have come to an inevitable crossroads where it it time to assess the keel. Now I...

ty Hamin didnt really think about that. here are two other images that might help http://www.flickr.com/photos/48918956@N07/5432878746/ You cant see it from these photos but the keel is in pretty rough shape and until I figure out how to drop it / grow the man bits to deal with that I wont know how ...

ok -sighs- how to respond here. well there is work to do on the keel, maybe even a replacement. might help if I can positively id the boat before I go buying a new keel right? or the rigging style anyone have any idea how to rig this boat that I cant id yet? I know I cant because A I am more used to...

ok so Ive been researching and checked a few other spots and still no hull number -floor stringers aft (behind) the hatch to the bulkhead that separates the quarter berths looked top port and starboard side of the stringer and nothing -behind electrical panel that sits on the starboard side or (dine...

my appologies here try this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/48918956@N07/5393735399/in/set-72157625795236895/ I remeasured the boat and from bow to stern im getting 24 feet soo with the rudder and bow rail that explains the 26 feet on the title however the boat looks exactly like a mac 24 from that...

well yeah the title says 71 mac the titles hin says new mexico home made in 81 and the boat hasnt been registered in NY since 1990 and is currently registered in Ca with all documentation. I keep hearing people saying stuff like stolen and prosecute I gotta be honest Im not looking for hearsay Ive a...

I doubt the boat is stolen or stolen in any recent time where it is going to matter the boat was built prior to hin numbers being a requirement 1971

possibly mac26paul but the problem remains that in just looking at the vessel no one can seem to identify the make not even in some sort of majority basis

looks an awful lot like the mac 24 of that era to me the deck over the bow section of the cabin as well as the portholes all appear to be of that year the only problem is the boat is too long. I dont know how I could have been 'supplied the wrong info' how often is the pinkslip wrong?
