I've wondered the same and noticed a small gap between the bulk head and the hull. At the same time, the foot locker doesn't have a drain and when it rained last week and I didn't put the tarp on her, I noticed standing water in the cuddy area. Nothing a shop vac couldn't fix. Do you have anymore pics of your old boat? I'm restoring mine but have no original pics and wellcraft doesn't have much to go on either.

[email protected] is my email address if you'd like to send them there, it would really help.
