[QUOTE="Frogman Ladue, post: 278806, member: 8253"] I've got all the stuff together to build and weld in a plug bung on the bottom of my boats. I can't go out the transom, there's a rivet seam in the way. I've got numerous nay-sayers second guessing my design. Here's what I got in mind....I've got a piece of 1.5" HW tubing, that I want to weld into the bottom of the boat (bilge area) approximately 6" port of the "keel chine". It should protrude .5" from the bottom when done. This will hold the plug. Now, I got guys telling me the boat will track funny because of the bung protrusion on the bottm. I've seen boats with factory running drain "vent", off set something like my design... What would you guy do? Weld it in, other option? [/QUOTE]
