pureactionbaits Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I purchased a 15ft 1980 Crosby Sled today looking to convert it into a fishing boat. It has some small holes that need to be patched on the inside that's no big deal. I am wanting to know if any one knows the specs for this boat and what to all use to convert it into a bass fishing boat. There are two big holes on each side of the boat and I don't know what they are for or if I should patch them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNC Molds N Stuff Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Sounds like a bare hull retrofit. You should know what every hole is for when you are done. If YOU will have a use for them then leave them. If not then patch them. Typical holes are for: Livewell/baitwell pickup(s). Livewell/baitwell overflow(s) Livewell/baitwell drain (may be the same as overflow). Livewell/baitwell pump out(s). Bilge pump bulkhead connector(s). Fuel filler. Fuel vent. Bilge Vent Hoses (very important to prevent blowing up). Bilge drain plug. Bow/Stern light plug. Less typical: Thru hull transducers. Bow thrusters. Anchor rope/chain locker.

ReeceSharpe Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Totally agree with the previos comment. You need to know your boat like the back of your hand. As well as I know I will be reading some articles about how to use paypal to gamble online to make sure I go to the best service . Always check the shpere you're heading to in advance.
