I'm looking for an Owners’s Manual for a 1999 Ventura 20. Give me a suggestion where to get one. The owner’s manual for a 1999 VENTURA 20 is not available on the Boston Whaler website.

You are not missing much. The manual I have for my 1999 21-foot Boston Whaler boat is very generic and does not provide a lot of model specific information.

Technical documents like an operating guide or owner's manual for a boat of contain a great deal of text that is known in technical writing as "boilerplate." "Boilerplate" means whole sections or paragraphs of generic text that can be "unbolted" from one document and moved to another document.

Cf.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boilerplate_text

Good to know. Maybe I'll abandon my search. Thanks for the reply.
