2002 Ventura 210: Dimensions of Filler Panel for Bow Seats

Postby Frank72 » Sat Jan 07, 2017 3:16 pm

[What are] the dimensions of the [triangular filler panel that fits between the bow seats of] a 2002 Ventura 210?

Where I can find the [dimensions]?

I’m thinking about making [a triangular filler panel that fits between the bow seats].

Are you asking about the dimension of some sort of accessory panel that fits into the forward cockpit and fills a gap between seats?

Yes it’s a panel or plate that fits or rests between the bow seats with cushion that came with the boat. I want to make one. Its shape is sort of triangular.

If you have the boat, couldn't you go on the boat and measure the space between the bow seats that you want to fill with a panel?

I am a bit of a skeptic, so I would place more trust in measurements I actually made of the size of panel that was needed on a particular boat to fill in the space between the seats than I would place in some random data given on the internet. A few years ago I made a filler panel to fill in the space between two seats on my boat. I made some careful measurements of the size of the panel and then made a panel to those measurements. The fit was very good. If you are not an accomplished carpenter, then make the panel a bit larger than your measurements suggest, and trim the panel to fit when you get it on the boat and see how it fits.

I don't know of any resource on the internet that maintains a list of the dimensions of the filler panel for a 2002 Ventura 210, but, even if there were such a resource, I would not be entirely certain that the dimensions it gave would be the exact dimensions necessary to make a panel that fit your boat.
