[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 505693, member: 3438"] Nice project. Welding is one skill i wish I learned. On our G3, the drain holes are on each side of the tunnel, approx like yours. It does have livewell drains that are a little lower that run within a strake. It has dual bilge pumps, one on each side, too. As you can see it uses the outside drain style. This was new to me, but after trying to reach over the the high transom down into the pocket, it is very hard, understood why. Not easy from the inside, either. I am now comfortable using the bilge pumps (mostly rain for us) and these outside drains. I have done the pull plug while on plane, with open style boats, but wold never try it with this one. I do run the bilge pumps when getting the bow high, letting as much water back to the transom/pumps. [/QUOTE]
