I have relatively thick fingers and hands and the inspection ports made doing the thru hulls about impossible for me, let alone trying to get the old pipe and drain out of my seafarer. Here is what I ended up doing. I cut a 5 inch hole with a hole saw to access everything, Just fair warning...

Hello, I was wondering what location I should install a Thru-Hull on the bottom of my 89 Seafarer for livewell and washdown? I have a 228G and I have access the the rear bilge but that is within 12 inches of the center line, is that going to be ok? I also have my gas tank in the forward...

I am looking to find an Offshore 24 or Explorer 24 from the early years and I have looked at 3 of them and all of them have transom and stringer rot, and were all trailer kept. Just wondering how hard it will be to find a solid hull that I can re-power or use the Engine it comes with for a year...
