Randle let me know if you need any help hauling it away. we can discuse the splitting of the profits like gentlemen.
FWB what kind of plug do you have in the bilge area, internal or external, brass plug or the old rubber type with the flip lever.
Mine was letting in some water during crusies and or fishing, which ever you want to call it, so I adjusted the plug to fit a little tighter and my leaks have stopped.
If you dont find the leak, you can consider it a bilge pump test when you step into the boat. If the pump runs and pumps,GREAT, if it dont NOT SO GREAT.
Moral of the story: is to use the situation to you advantage. Tell your friends you planned it that way and they will think you are the greatest thing to boating they have ever seen.
