Poor water drainage in bow of 2003 21i

[Domsz06]

hey now chpthril, I have the boat we are all talking about, I keep mine out

Ok, sometimes it is hard I agree, but hey, it's the smart @$$ in me

this really is a good idea and tread

Yes you should not dunk the bow,also make sure your riders are dry in bow and heven forbid if you get caught in the rain.

Drilled holes in the 03 22V too

I drilled a hole on each side under the seat to solve this same prob. Now if I could just get the inside of the hull to drain completely. I like my old 20i with the drain plug in the center. would be nice to have this option on the new on.

I have 03,21i with this problem.I took about a 1and1/2" drill and went thru the bottem inside rear of the front conpartments.My main concern was to drill into foam or hit the runners.Hole went thru no problem.I felt underneath and it is clear around the holes.I used the holes for the hose for ballest.
I don't know if this will work on your boat or not.it worked for me.

I had the same problem with my 21 i with the rollers and such but now when I have to turn around i almost stop the boat turn around at like 5 mph and no rollers, Nick showed me that one. Not sure how you can get rollers if you do do that though?

Rollers from your boat aren't as much as a problem as rollers from another boat. Like if you go to the lake of the ozarks boats out there less than 26 feet are considered sunk. There are so many big boats on the main channel the almost need stop lights. Ok maybe not stop lights, but theres a ton of boats and your garuenteed to take a few over the front.

it's all about the driver, I never sink the bow unless I want to, but it's everyone else driving when I'm boarding that causes a prob.

[mtnsmith]

I hear ya there. There are three people I trust to drive me, if one of them is not with us that day, I do not board. It kinda sucks sometimes, but oh well, I don't want a roller over my bow. Or worst, someone to catch a crab trap and mangle the prop shaft or rudder.

[spharis]

Stay away from Holly Beach and you won't have to worry about all the crab traps!

I have to watch for trot lines here......

[Domsz06]

there are times where I don't get to board. But if my gf is with me as long as it's not really busy she does a great job, so it's all good.

Im the best driver for my family

its so much fun

Rollers from other boats arent really a problem at my lake becuase there is not alot of bigs boats on it and its..spaced out I guess. In a busy lake I'm sure there a big problem though
