Hey Mark. Thanks! I’m getting back into posting and hopefully I can show you this new project that is around the corner next! Just need to finish this one up.
They didnt drill holes in those notches because they're intended to allow water drain to the rear of the boat, through the transom and not directly into the bilge... most useful when stopping quickly, where water could rush over the transom. In an earlier video you talked about replacing the plastic bungs with brass. That whole area above the bilge is basically a splash guard so water entering from the back of the boat doesnt flow directly into the bilge.. You should plug the holes you drilled and install the thru-transom brass instead.
