2004 21i water trapped in port side

[sconfo]

Ive got a 2004 21i with water trapped in the port side, so much that the boat lists about 2 inches, dunks the swim deck under the water, I cant figure out how to drain it, I don’t want to start drilling holes through the stringers not knowing what they’re made of. Anybody had this problem? And how did you solve it. Thanks

I'm having a little trouble figuring out how the water got it, but I would think you could drill a small hole in the floor somewhere inconspicuous and use a tube/shop vac to vacuum it out. I've read on other forums where this was done, but I've never seen it myself. Maybe in one of the rear lockers? Could you tilt the bow up to move the water to the back and suck it out? Let us know if you find a solution.
