It sure is great to see some activity on the old butterflyer forum. I concur with John's remarks. Having 2 butterflys left (been downsizing), of varying...
Ok, so I'm getting some idea of what's involved. It sounds like the deck is riveted and bonded to the hull, so the rub rail comes off, the rivets get drilled...

I never have problems with much water in the cockpit. I don't even bother to carry a sponge on board anymore. I know that the cockpit was designed to pour all...
THe hole in the cockpit is fine if you have it connected to a piece of tubing and then to the trasnsom drain plug. That would keep water out of the hull and...
