Well guys we finally made the first set, we had been delayed with mold modifications but after that we finally got a product out. The first set will be going on our 29' phoenix refit project which can be followed in our other forumn.
There has been alot of intrest in these hull side vents and we have decided anyone wanting a set can contact us.

$450.00 per set

Are the vents glass filled, or straight resin? Also, what are you planning to paint them with?

One thing to consider if you move forward making these for people... If you spray primer into the mold after you wax it, then you will be ready to paint once they pop out...

The vents have glass filled into them, this was the first set, we primered these three days later, and we are going to paint them with Awlcraft. we have decided on awlcraft sea foam color for the hull sides and oyster white topsides in awlgrip.
