The strakes themselves are not designed to be water tight..... for reinforcement only.On my 1959 Crestliner, it has the similar strakes as yours with a 1/4" hole drilled intothe back end of the strake to allow water to drain out.Which makes sense if you ever use your boat in salt water. You sure don't want anysalt trapped inside the strake !!!!!Document your progress with photos. Come back and share how your Emergency Room fixes go.
