Default Re: 23 Self-bailing deck history ?

“BOATS ARE LIKE WOMEN” if you flat out ignore them, or if you don’t pay enough attention to the small details that they consider important, or if you don’t treat them with a loving relationship they will find some way to get your attention and when it is all over with “YOU WILL” wish you did pay more attention to them when they started trying to tell you something. As for the scupper thing I don’t know of any SeaCraft that drained water directly into the bilge they go from the deck through the bottom of the boat. If the Scuppers are plugged up then water will find a hatch that does have a hole that does drain into the bilge and if you don’t have a bilge pump that doesn’t work correctly Well Guess What? It’s kind a like NOT spending any time, money, relationship, dinner, and well you know, everything else that is needed to get you wife to respond to a smelly fisherman like everyone that is reading this post. Be true to you boat and she will never let you down. I went fishing Sat night and heard some one on the VHF in trouble ended up that his live well was running and filling up the bilge some sort of hose problem I guess, well guess what? The bilge pump didn’t work either and no flares on the boat. “On my boat I always have 2 bilge pumps”. If you don’t care about your self think of your poor loving sweetheart that right “YOUR BOAT” that you are treating like crap.
