I hear you! When we first got this boat, we launched her and she promptly began to fill with water from brass through-hull leaks (do you powerboaters call them through-hulls?). So she was immediately put back on the trailer and those were replaced. What we've done this time around is probably sacrilege here; we've glassed over all the through-hulls for bait tanks and such. We will never use those anyway. We only kept the two aft scuppers. I don't know about powerboaters, but we sailors try to keep through-hulls to a minimum.
Thanks for the pointers, though. All of us in our program are pure sailors, so this powerboat stuff is a learning process. Note that this boat's name under the Marine Bio Dept was "Naturalist," but our sailors have been jokingly calling her "Necessary Evil."

Here in south MS we call you guys "Blow Boaters", just kidding.
Good luck with your project. I had a 20 Sceptre with a 200 Yamaha 2 stroke and it sat fine, however I had a larger tank built for it and moved it farther forward. I also didn't really load the stern down with people gear etc.
