Water trapped between hull and ski locker subfloor

I just used a dremel with a spiral cut bit. Fiberglass is easy to cut.

Check amazon for the hole saw, a lot cheaper then Home Depot

kind of weird, but i've had this 2006 LSV since 2008 and look what I noticed looking forward in the ski locker..

was this hole a concern before even we knew about it? how could the previous owner of noticed it and corrected it?

at least it looks like it was addressed in some way.

that's void that created the buzz a few years ago in the manufacturing process on the older models. only fix is to cut a deck plate and suck out water as needed.

yeah i know, i was just impressed it looks to have been addressed in someway before I got the boat in 2008.

It's hard to say because the photo is hard to get a clear grasp of, but that looks quite similar to how my 08 looks up there. I think that is the factory product...

Which we know doesn't work. I have to suck the water out after every trip, even if I dont take a wave over the bow.

even if mine was repaired I know i need to fix it with the access hole anyways, as i had a dime sized hole I patched in the fiberglass of the locker..

trying to find a 4.5" holesaw blade is brutal... about to just ghetto it with some other tool
