Codfish, thanks, from what others had written, it seemed that there was no drain at all for the bilge.

As to the inner hull drain, I don't understand the layout of the boat completely yet but from what I DO understand, all of the foam fill is somewhere above the lowest point in the bilge, all throughout the boat. Why not drill 1/2 inch holes every so often along the lowest part of the foam areas and just let that water drain out naturally into the bilge? I presume the foam is stable enough that it will remain in place and since it's a plastic, should be free from any deteriation?

If I'm still not clear about what's going on it would be neat if someone made a line drawing showing where the drains need to be installed and if they need to be plugged, the reasoning for plugging them rather than just allowing them to drain.

I sure hope someone volunteers for this!
