I really don't understand why this is such a big deal to some people. I installed the inner hull drain in my first Triumph and it dripped some, big deal. Water can get drain into the inner hull because of screw holes that are not completely sealed with RULE, thru rod holders, etc. Installing a drain just provides a way for that water to get out. I had no problem selling my first Triumph because of the drain.
When I bought a 2006 215 I had my dealer, Merritt Marine, install the drain on the new boat. It drips some but not that much. Unless you keep your boat in the water all the time, what is the big deal about having a drain where any water that does make its way inside, can drain from the inner hull foam? When I pull the boat out of the water I unplug the bilge drain and open the hull drain. When its time to put it back in the water those are the only two drains I have to worry with. Works fine for me.
