Chopping out the splash well & side compartments

[Briguy]

Bimini,

On my 23' my solution was to run the deck drains directly into the bilge. I run 2 1500 gph rule bilge pumps. Millions of other boats have been running this set up for years. In my book, self bailing could turn into self failing. As for cutting out the rear well. Just do it. Now I have as much room behind my leaning post as a 31' Contender.
