 Both boat pictures are kind of eerie seeing them on the bottom of the lake. Gets your mind wondering what happened to get them there. A bilge hose breaking, aeroator seals gone bad or hose breaking...no mystery to me...drain plug not installed and operator not knowing how to deal with it...man, the list goes on...ask me why I prefer aluminum boats over fiberglass boats... OK, why do you prefer aluminum boats? Cus they cost way less? Ride rough? Cus they sure dont float. :-) Everyone knows a aluminum boat wont sink if you leave the plug put like a fiberglass boat will

Fill them up with water and then we can ride back to the boat ramp. My bilge pump went out at the coast when it was nasty and pouring rain. Both plugs drained for 40 minutes when I got back to the boat ramp. Top end speed was about 4 mph less than normal.
