Hey guys-
Bought my first boat above and have a few model specific questions and figured I'd ask if anyone here has the same boat so I could get a few answers. Any help is appreciated. Thanks:)

Don't have a 265 but you might get more responses if you just ask the questions and some may have the answers your looking for

sold my 1994 265 13 months ago. Replaced with its equivalent 6 years newer.

Like AllDodge says.....what would you like to know?

Wondering a couple specifics...
1). How many bilge pumps are on the boat? I see one in Engine bay and one near the water shut off under the step in the cabin. Anymore forward of there?
2) is there any way to access under the floor in the cabin?
3) I have 2 deck drains in the lower section of the deck that drain directly to the outside of the boat, and one on the deck right in front of the door to access the cabin that doesn't drain outside of the boat when that area fills w water. It does drain the area but I don't see where water goes. Does this drain to bilge or should it drain out the hull somewhere?
4) are there any plugs that separate the front of the boat under floor to the engine bay?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

1) A boat that size would have two, one cabin and one engine bilge.
2) There should be a panel to access the cabin bilge area where the pump is, in most cases its under the carpet, just guessing
3) In most cases this one drains into the engine bilge
4) No, you don't want fumes from the engine room entering in the cabin
