[QUOTE="spotco2, post: 278419, member: 6117"] I've never understood the engineering behind building a boat so that water would not run to the back in the floor. I've seen a few that just had holes drilled in those ribs and never saw an issue with it, but these were pond and creek boats. If you are planning on being on any big water or rough water you might want to consider having someone weld in some pieces of tubing cut in half instead of just drilling holes. This would give you the reinforcements that you need to keep the ribs from flexing and cracking from waves. [/QUOTE]
