[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 218437, member: 1523"] I did two 3/8" holes between the pod and regular hull. When I poked a hole in mine I was able to shove a couple plastic worms in the drains from where the trim tab was ripped free. I also had a 3" tear where the transom ripped from the bottom packed with worms. It didn't leak bad enough to worry about after some riverside repairs. A sealed pod to me is a bad idea. I want it to breath so condensation or leaks don't mold or corrode. I also want to know if it's leaking. The drain holes are small enough that if you do have a catastrophic failure you won't flood the hull faster than the bilge pump can drain it. After my whack I had enough time to get it to shore and jacked up with rocks to drain the hull before applying the worms. Jamie [/QUOTE]
