Scary as all sh!t.
I like the idea of enlarging the drain scuppers. Since I'm going to start work on my 21's soft deck shortly I think I'll do that in the process......and some type of backflow preventer will most definently be installed in them also.  |
That area sure can change quickly.....came around in big seas once in a 31' Contender and was glad to have all that boat under us.
By the way - I like your life motto.
