Hi

I recently bought an old 14 ft Alumacraft model FD Queen of the Waterway and noticed that the cross ribs across the bottom do not have any draining holes. So when ever it rains the boat fills up with an inch of water, about the hight of those ribs. I thought of drilling holes in the ribs to let the water drain to the rear but I'm concern of weakening the ribs and the structure.

Any ideas?

Thanks
 
Buy a sponge. If it hasn't been an issue in 55 years I wouldn't worry too much about it.
