Nice work clockwork! I agree on the pulpit issue - very convenient... :goodjob
Changing the through hulls is difficult - but possible - as far as the aft ones are concerned. How about the bait tank/fish tank ones? Mine are leaking and I think it's practically impossible to replace them unless I take the top half of the boat off - which is just NOT going to happen... Did you do them all?
i did the fish box drains as well which was the real hard part. the stock plastic drains are a liability so i think they should be replaced ASAP. i cant believe boat builders make boats with so many holes below the waterline that rely on a hose and clamp. mine had a crack in it so out it came but in doing so i broke the 3 way plastic junction. all that old brittle plastic scares me.
anyway i recommend taking a hole saw and putting in deck plates where needed to access the drain fittings. luckily i was able to use existing access holes but some are less than ideally placed and i've seen some gradys where there are no access holes in the vicinity.
in all i redid the 2 fish box drains which was a major job, the bilge pump fitting which was easy, the 2 scuppers which was fairly easy and the 2 motor well drains which was also easy. its the fish box drains that will get you.
