[QUOTE="richg99, post: 457610, member: 4376"] Okay, I'm confused. On my tinny (G3) there are "Strakes" molded/bent into the bottom sheet of aluminum. Their primary purpose is to strengthen the flat sheet..and the secondary purpose is to prevent the hull from sliding when making a sharp turn. Anyhow, their shape allows water to flow from bow to stern. Any ribs that I have noticed sit ON TOP of the strakes. I purposely left my sheets of added foam loose so water could find its way down to the grooves and exit to the bilge. I guess I cannot see why any Limber Holes have to be added??? If the suggestion was to drill a bunch of holes in the upper decking to allow water to gradually get to the lower hull bottom panel, then I still don't see why Limber Holes have to be added. rich [/QUOTE]
