what are????

[jimsbuddy]

I was looking thru craigslist at some boats, and noticed this gentleman put in his ad...

SELF BAILING, WELDED ALUMINUM DECKS FROM .160 5086 ALLOYwhat are they??? I didnt see any holes in the side of the boat as if they are like on big fishing boat where water that washes over the side will just wash out the other side of the boat

thx

All the self bailing bows I've seen have either a hole with a hose to an opening to the side of the boat or else the hole goes right thru at the deck level.

so I was kind of on the right track... its a hole in the side to let water out
