Set it on end and see if you can get the water to run out, if it doesn't flip it to the other end and see what happends. It would be best to find out where the water is getting in then just draining it.
JMO, I could be wrong.
Haha.

After looking it over I found 2 holes at the front that I believe you were refering to as the holes where the foam was shot into the hull. There are no plugs and I can see the foam through them. They aren't very big probably less than a half inch, but may be big enough to let the small amount of water that I have into the hull.
I did flip the boat over and stand it up to drain and it seems to have gotten some of the water out. Any ideas as to what to do with the holes would be appreciated.

Go to ACE Hardware and get some plugs for them.
100% silcone sealer will work best, just dab some it on and put the plug in.

Bought a Bass Hunter from my uncle who bought it at a trade fair with no title. I have trolling motor and would like to use it occasionally on public waters. How do I register it without title?

The short answer is that you don't. You cannot register w/o a title. So...you need to get a title. I think it can be done. From what I have heard its a headache. Almost impossible if the boat had ever been registered before. Start here, and good luck. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/faq/fishboat/boat/registration_and_titles/

Anyone in the San Antonio Area??? My buddy FFM says there is no fishing down there? Well I went to Boat Ramp 11 above Canyon Lake! This is about where the Guadelupe ARiver pours into the Lake! I lived near there 15 years ago and always caught fish from the banks near there! I caught one fish yesterday, none today... Not liking the 55 mile trip from my place closer to Seguin, but the "lakes" there PLacid and McQuenny are too damn busy with ski boats... Has anyone tried Calaveras or braunig?

Hey turbotexas, San Antonio area guy here with a Pelican Raider 10'. Did Calaveras a few weeks ago, stayed near the dam looking for reds but struck out. Windy condtions will be your only factor at Calaveras and Braunig. The crapping wall at Calaveras is supposed to be the place to go, but small boats like ours are not recommended.

Hello MedinaD I went to Calaveras 20 years ago looking for bass fishing, and rented a jon boat with a small motor... Miserable time out there in that because of the wind! I like the place I went to the other day so much I'm going back again in the early morning! I went friday AM and caught several whaite/small mouth and one large mouth! Hell I even caught some kinda Gar too! This place is where the Canyon lake begins, and is kayak and small boat friendly! I have guadelupe river within % miles of me here in Seguin, but the ski traffic is just sooo heavy! Up there at ramp 11 too many stumps for skiers! Come out tomorrow if ya can!
