Scuppers under the water line?

[eggsuckindog]

my scuppers will bring water in, they are thru the hull but they do, quite a bit. They won't with nobody in the boat but the amount of fuel has a bearing as well. The transom scuppers should be helped with the ball scuppers Bushwhacker mentioned and should about eliminate it. Not sure on the weight of the 150 but my Merc comes in at 410/415 but it should be similar, anything over 1/2 tank of fuel makes a difference as does the baitwell but mine is a Master Angler with it at the transom too. I keep plugs in them most of the time, especially if I have 3/4 tank with 2 of us wandering around back there they are little geysers.

I have the recessed well back there and have the plug out to drain into the bilge, if 1 or 2 of us stand back there any length of time it will drain some in and kick my pumps on but thats fine - I know they are working, I like that.

I think most boats of any age get soft spots around the seats and/or console - I fixed a couple small areas drilling 1/4" holes and using Git Rot, doesn't sound like their too bad but need a bit of attention

If you guys are comparing 23's its a whole nuther world, we have the same weight with V6's as you do
