I read many of the limber placement posts and the general consensus seems to be the location would be at the lowest point in the rear of the boat.
My quandary is the original holes were just under the deck about 12" forward of the transom. This placed the holes about 5" above the bottom of the hull (where the stringer mates with the hull) and I cannot see a way that water would ever completely drain out of the sides since the holes were 5" above the lowest point.
It would seem to me I should abandon the original construction and place the holes at the bottom of the stringer yet if I do that the holes would only be about 2 1/2" above the keel and if I allow much water to get into the bilge it would run into the sides of the boat.
