Bimini,

I have a 20'CC. It is the best boat I have ever had. Do you think I will have trouble with water coming in without the back splash with a 25" transom? I was talking to Finster and we were tossing around the idea of raising it up to 30", maybe thats the way to go. I'm pretty new to these boats and changing things with them. Give me a good motorcyle to work on, at least when that fails you can walk home.

I just put it in 7/3 and pulled it out last night. Noticed it was sitting a little lower in the back. With the deck plugs removed, water was now pooling inn the back instead of running out. I couldn't seem to get my bilge running. When I pulled the plug at the ramp, I bet at least 50 gallons of water came out.
I will replace the deck and rear thru hulls this weekend. I think the way EBEACH, Miles and White Hawk suggested.
Now I know why I needed two bilge pumps!!!

But what really pissed me off is I scaped about two feet of gelcoat off the side of my boat getting it on the trailer as I was fighting GREENHEADS.

Thank God for cold beer and hot women.

Cheers,
Pat
