Ta double check all them there plugs before launching.....LOL
I was able to do a sneak out early Satdy morning....bright & early it was & my usual routine was for sure not in place....however I did find out my boat will not sink if'n I were to bust a hole in it....fished 2hrs before noticing "hey idiot those plugs in your cup holders are suppose to be in your boat".....
With my boat being self bailing I still put plugs in the cockpit scuppers to keep the floor dry....but I dint do my usual walk around just checking everything.....transducer, prop, hydro-foil & "plugs"......
I usually never take the bottom plugs out but do every other month or so to make sure the inside stays dry.....I ain't gotta worry bout it being dry now but I did give it a good flushing.....
While I was tossing slabs in tha live well I did think to myself "dang that water is sure high in that live well"....LOL it dint dong on me until I was ready to make a move & then seen the plugs.....

There ain't no water pose to be comin out them thar holes.....LOL

Ha! I found out a long time ago my old 16 ft aluminum would flat out sink-FAST like that lol. Launched it at night in lake fork and took a min to figure out what was going on. Had to beach it on an island after running full throttle for a while to get some of the water out and then jump in to plug her up and bilge out the rest.
