    Catalina sailboats may be a memory

    1962 Chris Craft Holiday 20’ bucket list resto

    Sam, I made aluminum vent plenums for my boat out of thin aluminum sheet that I folded on the bench, riveted together and then sealed with aluminum HVAC duct to make a sharp turn. maybe you can do something like that with one of the standard cobra style 90 degree elbows.
