I'm driving a 1973 (since 1975) flat-bottom rivet boat, currently with 40hp Yamaha jet unit. Tell me about it. Nothing the cheap little bilge pump I installed in the stern doesn't fix, with a console toggle switch. Saves pulling the plug every so often. Worse, forgetting to re-install it when slowing down.....

Of course, if I ever needed a live-well, I'd not have to buy one. smile
