[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 305015, member: 7537"] Welcome to the site.....yes to the boat drain.....jon boats are designed to self bail.....without a drain you could not do this. Your bow eye is optional, but I would install one to make it easier to secure to the trailer.....the wiring is up to you....depends on how much you want to spend...any bilge pump is better than no bilge pump in an emergency....manual does not require battery. Not sure about the bunks, but I dont see why they would hurt the rivets. The most important thing is to make it the way you want and fish.......good luck and take lots of pics. Don't scrap her just yet....looks like it has plenty of potential. [/QUOTE]
