I enlarged the drains in the back of mine. I got some big ol' thru hulls and traced the I.D. onto the transome and used my Dremmel tool with a 60gt sanding drum. Cuts through it like butter!!!! Use a respirator because it is a dusty business that will leave you looking li' Tony Montana!!!!!! I haven't been able to get the water to come up past the back chunnel since.

As for worst conditions in a V......

Comin back through the bar channel limpin at 600rpms with lightning poppin all over, shivering in July in pouring rain, water at my ankles at the helm and screamin "Just sink the m-f'r!!!!". Took me 3hrs in that crap to go 2.5mi and got back to find out if I ever wanted to take the boat out again I'd have to buy a new engine........I only had 20hrs on it
