[QUOTE="dejamat, post: 301104, member: 7906"] The 1st thing that jumps out to me is the drain plug you installed. Please redo that with a secure thru hull drain that you can get at any marine store. You DO NOT want to fool around when you have small kid's out on the water. If the boat leaks, repair and use a bilge pump. The speed you will achieve with that motor/oars is not sufficient to drain the water out. Keep in mind that everything you add to the boat as far as floor, deck, extra chair are adding WEIGHT and will be difficult to transport to the water. Upload some pictures so we can have a look at what you have to work with. Everyone on this sight is willing to help especially when it comes to the Safety of you and your family. [/QUOTE]
