2320, Water trapped in hull saga

[Bodick93]

Greetings all. I wanted to transfer a few threads here that I originally posted on THT as a "new guy" contribution. I am SeaPro48 over there.
Knowing that I bought a boat constructed using some wood, I set about to eliminate water input to the bilge by installing an overboard drain in my anchor locker. That started a long, learning (kind of fun) saga, that may be applicable to a lot here with a mysteriously changing water line. Picture heavy threads.

Great threads. Thank you for the investment. Hopefully will help others. My dealer did this ( drilled a drain in the anchor locker area on my 2320) when the boat arrived. I wonder if there was an internal memo to dealers on this? ( It was done without asking me- but I was pleased with the reasoning after questioning it.)

That is great that the dealer did that. I thought Parker had started doing it at the factory.
