I won this boat on ebay.Noone seemed to realize the springs had broken until we tried to move her.The hull was full of water and might be why the springs gave way.I drilled a half inch hole in the transom and she drained for a long time.The previous owner thought I was nuts when the first thing I did was put a hole in the hull.This was how we improvised to get her on the road.It was a nervous and slow 230 mile trip home but we made it.
