I suppose you could try putting the plug back in the drain hole. (Couldn't
resist this one)

Tony I have a 90 horse Johnson,this is the smallest motor Hydrosport
offers with this model. The only additional weight I have is a
trolling motor and spare battery total weight for that is @ 100lbs.My
father -in-law stays up front and he's around 200lbs.The livewell is
also up front. This is a center console boat,so the driver sits in the
middle of the boat. The bilge pump works but I would have to run it
constantly. If I sit in the middle and my father-in-law sits up front
water comes over the transom and will be 4 or 5 inches deep in a
matter of minutes. I think water gets into the hull by going thru the
access ports. I don't know but you would think I could get up and walk
around the boat without having to swim from stem to stern????. And
Ihave had hose clamps relaced and the rear access port replaced and
resealed.
