Since you don't specify a year there are a few caveats.

Boston Whaler uses plywood in the transom. Not a cause of concern.

There is also plywood, later Whalerboard (phenolic) backing pieces embedded in the floor, gunnels and decks depending on model. Diagrams are available.

The Ventura is considered by many to be a battle wagon. Heavy, solid and a great riding boat.

Tom Andresky (BlueWaterPirate) has a 2003 Ventura 210 with a Mercury 225 Optimax and had dozens of trip reports of offshore runs from North Carolina.

There have been few complaints other that the price, when new. These boats were expensive. Probably due to the high quality. The high price to make led to their short production run.
