Re: 23 Self-bailing deck history ?
SinkCraft [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
My Potter built '78 self bails thru the deck pipes and 90* out the transom [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I think older years went straight thru the bottom of the boat as my hull still has the indentation in the mold. The Boat has too much foam to sink but I would assume that if If someone's boat filled with water, it had to enter the rear vents or the OB cable outlets due too excessive weight at the stern. A combination of twins, excessive number of people, the baitwell being full and non-working bilge pumps. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
