Thanks all for the encouraging words. Something I discovered today while hosing down the deck has me concerned a little. Although this full transom model has scuppers it's really not a self bailing deck. The deck scuppers merely direct the water down to the bilge :o
When I get her in the slip now it will be like in the old days when I used to have to pray my bilge float worked every time it rained. I've had some lucky saves in the past with defective floats/bilge pumps on boats that were not self bailing. Has anyone with a full transom model devised a workaround to this situation? ???
Thanks again,
