How bad is this?

[kenm]

Thanks for all your help. JohnB, you were right, the floor is below the waterline and the water drains into the bilge. I am sold on the boat, It is very solid, rebuild was nicly done, but before I put my money down I want a solution. Doing research on this site I have found only one solution- Adding a flotation bracket. Looks like 3k for the bracket, longer cables- 4500total? Would it solve the problem?

The owner offered add a splashwell door like a 23' regulator- I am liking this idea. Would not be absolutly watertight, but would hold back most water if I took a wave over the low transom. What do you think?


I would like to buy this boat, but I dont want to put much money into fixing it up right away. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Ken
