[QUOTE="sixgun86, post: 250993, member: 5345"] x2. I had to drill holes in my J16 too. Running stringers port to starboard without having any way to let the water drain is genius! And they are still building the boats this way. " They are completely enclosed and water cannot get inside " & " I've only heard of one or two boats that became water logged in my 10yrs of selling". Okay, They are kit boats right? So when bench seats, Pedestals, Consoles, etc are installed. Aka, one screw hole in floor the entire section is compromised with no way to drain out the water unless you want to tip the boat sideways and drill small holes in the floor for each section. So strip hull bare, reinstall ea piece using truck load of 5200, and then re glass holes. Or ride the water logged dog. My boat must have gained 100lbs since Mfg'r. ARGH! [/QUOTE]
