So , Now that I have acquired an Oday 19 the one thing im scratching my head on is why didn't they put any kind of Lexan deadlights or opening ports on it ? Was it an optional item during the build? As soon as I get the boat up to Chattanooga im going to put something in top add light and cross Ventilation in the cabin. Whether it be Bomar or Lewmar opening port lights or fixed ports. What have you all done with this issue

Originally, the only sources for light and ventilation in the O"DAY 19 cabin were the forward hatch and main hatch, not sure if side ports/windows were offered as options (not on option list in 1979). Later years (1981-83, might have been optional in 1980) did have small fixed windows on the sides of the cabin, plexi or Lexan screwed over small openings cut in sides of cabin. If you can find opening ports that will fit on the sides of the cabin, I suspect they would be a great addition as would a solar-vent on the forward hatch or fore deck.
