Hi,<br /><br />We have a 20' Skipper craft with glass pontoons, one of which must have water in it. Taking the plug out and hoisting the front end part way out of the water didn't help.<br /><br />We are going to drill a hole through the deck about where the curve ends on the bottom and see if we can pump water out. There might be another compartment behind that.<br /><br />Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks.

If they are foam filled its likely the foam sucked and is now waterlogged. I havent a clue how they get the foam out of those to refoam them though.

I don't think there is foam in them. We drilled two holes and just found water. Just have to guess on location up front.<br /><br />It would help if we knew how many compartments there were and where.<br /><br />Also Skipper's address would help.
