Something about drilling 20 or so hole below the water line the makes my sphincter pucker. They are straight so no worry's there but I'm sure I will be checking the bilge a lot more this year.
Nothing a few packs of Wrigley's gum can't fix... :)

@robert843, did you put sealant in the holes?

I filled the holes with 5200 before installing the screws on my trim tabs. I feel terrible for anyone that ever tries to remove them.

On the plus side, four years later, they have never leaked.

I used 4200 just in case I ever bent a tab I could replace them. I put it in the holes and behind the head of the screw to create a seal.

For any first timers, go to the 2:45 mark and you'll get to see what waters you and your kids will be snorkeling in. Fun times...

And don't forget to bring your drone

Either way it will be fun learning how to drive these big vans.

That would drive me nuts. But at least you are on the coast, so your water access is not limiting you.
Beautiful boat!
