As if i need another boat project!
I and firends had planned on taking our boats out, the little ones and wives & sleep out on the boats at a local island....that was until i was working in the cabin of my Baja Hammer today in the garage.....hot as HECK in there! The thoughts of a sweating wife and complaining kids was all but a nightmare lol.
How can i get good air circulation in the cabin? If your not familiar with the Baja Hammer, it has a very small lay down open cabin / no entry door. I plan on making some pull together shades/curtians for the open entry area but need air flow. I put a A/C house mini fan inside the cabin today but because the hot air has nowhere to really go, it didnt make much difference in temp.
I thought of putting a crank up vent on deck but the deck is curved and not a flat mounting surface...and i would beed a low profile one...dont want to take away from the sleek looks of the boat.
Any suggestions?
Also thought of building a ice cooler a/c unit to keep it cool inside...but still want air flow.

Think its possible to install a deck vent on a curved surface? its not drastic but is curved... the whole entry side of the cabin is open so plenty of air "can" get in...i just have no way of letting the air flow thru the cabin.
