[QUOTE="richg99, post: 419378, member: 4376"] Interesting discussion. I've never thought about it, since most of my prior boats were fiberglass. No doubt, the fiberglass boats "sweat" too. But, since they have ..some..insulating qualities in the 'glass, they might not sweat as much. Another factor that would have reduced my observed condensation was that most of my boating was in Texas flats saltwater in the Summertime. The water temperature was normally in the high 80's to 90's. Even with the very high humidity, and high air temperatures, my differential between water and hull wasn't very much. You boaters in Northern climes have chillier water temperature/differentials most of the time. Looks like a good reason to add some venting though, no matter where you live and boat. Thanks for posting. richg99 [/QUOTE]
