    Just wanted to check in and see if you were able to get any more details on where i can drill for the ski locker drain. I don’t see one so it appears that it was forgotten when the bot was built. It’s under warranty so it might be better to let a dealer do it.

    Hey tone100, I haven't forgotten about you.  I'm heading to the lake this evening but will post some pics of the ski locker inside on Monday when I'm back near a computer.

    tone100....Here are the pics

    In the front, you have two holes (one on each side) that would drain large amounts of water

    In the rear, about 6 inches from the rear are two drilled holes about 1/2 inch wide for rear drainage

    Wow. I definantly don't have any holes like that. Amazing that hurricane forgot to drill them. Sucks for me. Going to cost $100 in gas to take it to the dealer to fix it. I guess Steve never heard back from hurricane about drilling holes.

    Thank you so much for taking and posting these. I'll go ahead and do the front ones. That should help some for now.

    @tone100, weird they didn't get drilled but good that you now know and get remedy it really easily.  On some of the older Hurricanes, they were a molded PVC liner with the drain holes molded in them.

    There is nothing below there if you stay ahead 6-12 inches if you decide to do it yourself.  And as you can kind of see from the pics, once you drill any of the holes, I'd treat the exposed holes with something to keep water from penetrating the exposed wood.

    Always happy to help a fellow Hurricane owner....Our kind has to stick together :))   Happy boating!

    Terry said to go ahead drill holes the floor with a small bit. I'll give it a shot.

    Love this board.
