I love the idea for the reconfigured drain system. Do you have any photos of the plumbing looking into the hatch. I am in the process of rebuilding a 20' and a 23'. I hate the old drain system because it is not act as a selfbailing deck. Does your system act as a self bailing deck?

I dont have any photos off hand of the plumbing but all that it is, is a pvc pipe glassed in. I will get photos of it shortly. Yes when the boat is at rest it does self bail. The other day me and a buddy were offshore drifting a grouper spot and I was sitting at helm and he was a little forward of me and it was still self bailing. I weigh about 200 and so does he and we had a 128 qt cooler in the back full of ice and a full tank of gas along with all the other gear.

that's awesome. My biggest complaint of my 20 is the drainage system. If you can't get the photos, could you do some measurements for me? I would be forever grateful. I would love to get my hands on the placement for both the inside and outside locations of the holes you cut. Thanks again and that is hands down the best idea I have seen on here yet!

looks good. I just cut the old drainage system out yesterday and it will be a little while before I put the new system in due to cold weather and the amount of grinding I have ahead of me. That gives me some time to think about it. I am pretty sure I have an idea of how to go about it though. Your pictures helped me out big time. Thanks again!

George, where did you get your ping pong balls? And how much did they cost?

Forget the Rabuds. You have to unseal them to clean the balls.
