I drilled a hole in the keel near the rudder and some black water dripped out. Other holes had no water but a puff of air pressure escaping. Seems that there are some airtight cavities and others that water seeped into in the hull.
My thoughts are to drill several weep holes along the length of the keel and let any water drip out. Of course I'll epoxy them before painting.
Any thoughts on this? In particular, anything to watch out for around the centerboard or external ballast? What about making a bigger hole and forcing air through it with a fan to thoroughly dry the area?
