Through hull placement

[strick]

Points well taken and all valid. I appreciate your input and look forward to it in the future. It's good to have others experience to go off of. I commercial fished for 7 years out of a wood boat in Alaska. My first year I thought I would surely die when we put the boat in the water and it leaked so bad that the bilge pumps were constantly running the first 24 hours. After the wood swelled then it only leaked a little. The only thing keeping the pacific ocean from going into that boat was a lot of wood planks, some cotton calking and a fresh coat of paint. I dont think there was an ounce of epoxy on that boat. Things got better when I moved up to a fiberglass and then an aluminum boat. I guess I do lean a bit to the side of overkill but than again the ocean scares the hell out of me. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
