Sean,
The first time I raised the boat up that high my wife was outside with me. She kept asking me," what the heck are you doing?" I told her trying to get the water out! She then ran like hell into the house yelling,"you are crazy jacking the boat up that high and you are going to hurt yourself. LMAO *::) but man oh man, whenever the boat reached "the point of no return" the water was pouring out of the drain hole! It ran like that for at least 10 minutes too. *:o *The next time I launched her at Point Judith, she was sitting so much higher in the water it was like I had a new boat. I don't know why they designed the boat like that with the drain hole 3" higher then the lowest point in the bottom of the hull. *???
The "wick" idea works great too and who ever thought of that one was brilliant. I couldn't believe that a small strip of cotton material could work so good for wicking water out.
