That was my inclination fellows but needed to post to help my sleep. I double checked this a.m. and knuckle tapped to that wonderful hollow sound.

For any one purchasing an original older hull.....do the drains. I slipped mine for several months and regret any additional water I let in. I did do a weighing of the boat a couple of years ago and a hair heavy but not a perfect measurement with the rigging and trailer estimates. I was actually quite happy with the transom results. If I ever do this over again......drains, fuel hoses, fuel tank, electrical, my four immediate priorities. Thanks all.
