Exclamation

Bigshrimpin's boat doesn't have the built in bilge flooding modification that many 25 footers do.

Many of the 25s have rod holders on the flat on the cap on the transom, just forward of the fuel filler ports, which are about 30 degrees from horizontal.

I think they get installed when people install new fuel hose. It appears to be much easier to tighten the double stainless hose clamps thru the rod holder cutout. Then you drop a rod holder in to the cutout and it looks neat topsides.

Problem is- the rod holders don't drain to the deck. They drain to the bilge. It makes tracking down deck leaks frustrating. And the very deep vee will hold 3 or more gallons of water right under your steel oil pan because it is quite difficult to get a pump and float switch to drain it dry, especially on both sides of the keelson.

I think cdavisb addressed this with a flat floor and custom pickup.

In the mean time, I need rubber bungs for rod holders on the transom. And maybe a few others do, too.
