For the other HST owners. I have noticed that in the main floor there are no drainage holes going into the center hull bilge, and water does accumulate under the back seat in the corners especially. Has anyone made holes or designed a drainage system for this area that drains into the main bilge area? When I redo the floor on mine this winter that will be one of my jobs.

Also, those who cut out holes over the sponsons to remove the foam. What did you use to seal them back up?

Thanks

mine didnt have anything left. the sponsons were open for light storage and weight reduction. just need to make a few supports for strength

I think I am going to glass over them again as I like having that area as storage.

Anyone with anything to add regarding draining the main floor area?

**bigboy** · 09-22-2011, 05:50 AM

Your mean the area just under the rear bench? It's not possible to drain this because there is a step in the bottom/pad. So thats where all the water gathers...

My AE-21 has sub-floors in the sponsons. I have a floor over the centerpod which runs all the way to the back of the fuel tank. There is a section cutout at the transom (aft of the tank) that reaches to the bottom of the centerpod for a bilge pump access. The floor over the centerpod and tunnels is about 4" higher than the subfloor in the sponsons. Any water in the boat will runoff into the sponsons and drain through a hole at the rear of each sponson subfloor.
