I have a vent in the companionway boards.  But two years ago I put a
vent in the cabin top and things are much better year 'round,
presumably with some cross flow. Scorpion is kept on the hard in the
winter.  

When I got my trailer I wanted to maximize hoisting options and
located a ventilator hole right where the manual puts a port for
hoisting with a chain or strap from the keel bolts. 

I don't know what the original hoisting arrangement looks like, and
the standard ventilator mounting flanges are bumped by the slide (the
actual ventilator is removable)  so a different location might be
better.
