plug lining

[oldfielder]

If you're pulling the rotten tubes out of the floor-definitely check the surrounding wood-you might not like what you find. Mine was pretty easy to dry out and then I got the rotten wood out with a few different router bits and speedbores-sealed everything up with CPES and then made a plug with thickened epoxy and drilled it out again. Kind of involved but I feel a little better about that part of the boat that is sitting in the water now. I'm not even sure if I'm going to put a tube back in but I might just for aesthetics.
Anyone who bought the Whaler tubing-is it thicker than the standard brass drain tubing that they sell at most marine stores?
