i know a guy who builds boats that had to bail and plug it from the outside last year..literally happens to everyone. just a hell of a lot scarier in a jon boat, fiberglass can take a lot more

yeah. just a total panic since i didn’t anticipate entirely losing the plug, then when i found it i didn’t figure it’d be hard to find the drain. but yeah, getting on plane is the thing to do if there was enough room. really tight ramp and a big no wake
