In our '91 (#1120), while attempting to figure out the source of the water getting into the bilge (a never-ending effort, I realize...) I found a hole in the fore-starboard lowest corner of the front chamber under the floor board cover to the right of the limber hole. Can anyone with a similar year hull tell me if this is actually a drainage hole from the starboard side or a flaw in the glassing? If it is the latter I'll fill it with resin/epoxy. Photos attached. Thanks so much!

Hi Kevin;
I'm not at the boat right now to confirm, but it looks more like a defect than a factory limber hole for sure...

I have a '94 and don't have one of those; only have the center whole.

Thanks Howard and Richard. I poked around in there some more. Looks like an airpocket in the original build broke through. I'm going to try to dry it out and inject epoxy in there.
