Was there a lack of drains on the 31's?
I remember the year I bought mine...at years end I was so busy at work I made arrangements for yard to haul her without me...I just had to bring around and tie up at the Well the night before.
I get a frantic call early afternoon, they pulled boat, chocked and cannot find the drain plug and its supposed to rain hard the next few days.
I told them not to worry I'd be down in a bit and find it...
Sure enough, I get down, not a drain plug to be found...so back to the car I go, grab my trusty cordless with biggest drill in the box and pop a hole where water had pooled.
Not sure why...but figured prior steward sealed it up and would find a tell tail repair down the road. Prior steward had done some strange modifications...like cut all non essential electrical lines, removed automatic bilge pumps, cut all freshwater hoses, pulled out the water tank and the head...it was used strictly as a fishing boat...oops got side tracked.
The year I stripped the bottom...no signs of a drain could I find. Prior owner was good at making obvious repairs so know I would have found his handy work...found the repair at the bow were he hit the rocks of VZ Stanchion...had a big fish on.
Anyway, drains a part of 31's, if so where?
Looks great John! Now splash her and catch some Rockfish? Thats what you guys call Stripers right? Same season as here? Spring and Fall runs?
