Thanks NCangler, In a perfect world no water would enter the inner hull but some does and the inner hull drain is definitely a good idea. Mine has been dripping slowly but steadily for about a week now so I'm glad I added it. I would love to know how many gallons have dripped out but since the boat sits outside and we have some tremendous rains here in SW FL, there is no way to determine the amount. The deck is made up of several sections and some water is bound to enter the inner hull and apparently Triumph doesn't think its an issue but personally I prefer the flotation material to be as dry as possible and I certainly don't want to be carrying around any extra weight-potentially hundreds of unnecessary pounds. Its something the factory should do and their cost would be minimal-no mould changes are required-Simply boring a 1" hole and screwing a drain assy in place shouldn't take more than 10 minutes but I am no engineer and maybe its a pride thing with them-Maybe they want the general public to believe its impossible for any water to enter the boats inners?? Who knows
Putershark highly recommended it and I'm glad I took his advice.
