just a suggestion, i am rebuilding a flat bottom fglass houseboat, and it has 3 drainplugs, that went thru the transom wood. i dont care how much 5200 you put in there, its eventually gonna be where water weeps into the transom and rots it out, and you can never get them low enuf in the hull to drain all the rain out. so i made some fiberglass drain tubes, and glassed em right into the bottom of the hull, and glassed em over. never leak, rot, or corrode. you can make your own using a wood dowel or pipe wrapped with wax paper so it wont stick, and wrap with fibergalss tape for a good finish. or you could just go get a $12 dollar fiberglass rake handle from big lots and work off of that. remember to use proper glassing techniques: sand or scuff it, degrease/clean with acetone first, and dont use anything but laminating(waxless) resin until your ready to finish. and if possible, dont run em thru the wood.
