[QUOTE="WTL, post: 71570, member: 351"] I have a starcraft riveted boat that has the ribbing every 14 inches or so along the inside of the hull. Now I know its there to add support - it is essential - but the problem is just about 3/4 of an inch of water always sits down between the ribs and with compartments and wood and everything in makes everything stay wet and humid. So heres my question - has anyone ever drilled a little drain hole on each side of the ribs to let water flow through to the back where it can be scooped or removed with the bilge? Or would this compromise hull integrity and or cause any other problems? [/QUOTE]
