I'm ashamed to say it, but the jon boat in my possession right now is not tin but fiberglass. It is 12 feet long and it was too good of a deal to pass up. The question I have is if it is alright to drill holes in the bottom for getting water into the livewell. It has a lid over the livewell like it was supposed to be there, but it doesn't have any way for water to get in. The boat was built for the guy that owned it previously about 5 years ago. I'm not sure if the boat floats because of pockets of air in the seats, making it OK to just drill holes straight through the bottom of the livewell, or if there is air between two layers of fiberglass all around the bottom, making it not OK to drill the holes. Pictures will be up shortly, and ask if you don't know what I'm talking about. Any help is appreciated.
