I am new to Whalers having just completed a 6 month project restoring a 25' Guardian with twin 150HP merc motors. I launched the boat this week and noticed that the stern thru hull drains are about 3 inches below the water line when the boat is not moving. As a result, the spash well fills with about 3 inches of water. The water drains out quickly as soon as the boat moves forward. Is water in the splash well normal for a whaler? The restoration project included the removal and repair of the rear deck. Removal of foam from the rear of fuel cell compartment and installation of a system to drain water from the compartment. The addition of a bilge pump in the port aft sump. Replacement of all fuel hoses and bilge hoses. Refurbishment of T-top. Rewiring of the electrical. Repairs to the hull. I have photos if there is any interest. |

I have a 1988 22 outrage the same thing happens with my craft. It is ok. Unless it is a large wave when fishing water does come across my floor, if it does I have 2 pumps in just above the plugs. Some guys plug the holes and put in a pump. The boats are designed to have the plugs open. hope that helps |

It sounds normal for the added weight of a Guardian. Our 22 sits with about 1 1/2" - 2 1/2" of water in the splashwell without anyone aboard while at rest depending on fuel load. Our 22 is rigged with twin Mercury XR6 150hp 2.5 liter V6's. |

We only have one Thu-hull low in the middle of the transom. Here are some detailed images. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v427/jeff_rohlfing/Dads%2022/Forsale/ ?start=all http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v427/jeff_rohlfing/Dads%2022/ Transom%20Detail/
