Re: 23 Self-bailing deck history ?
You know what else lets water in that combined with a failing bilge float switch will sink you? Thoes darn bilge vents. On all of the 20's I have owned the first thing I do is fill them in. When I was 10 yrs old<1980> I was out on my dad's friends 1977 20' on a rough day trolling off of Miami. The vents let in more water than air and we ended up -- upside down 5 mile offshore.
