no drain plug boat hulls
I am new on here. I just bought a new 2019 162 fisherman. I have not picked it up yet. I am wondering about the track record of the new foam filled hulls with no drain plugs? Do they hold up? What if you hit a rock and crack them? It sounds too carefree to be true! Dave

Re: no drain plug boat hulls
The entire deck is above the waterline, so the entire boat drains into the motor well, then out of the motor well scuppers.
Can't testify to if there will be any problems with water getting in via a rock hit, but since everything seems to be glass or Synthetic......can't imagine it being a huge problem. Were I to find a hole below the waterline, I would attempt to dry out the inner hull before repairing the hole.
