Adam’s beenbusy as a little bee in the R&D shop, making more foam plugs with modified or added features to test. He’s reduced the size and changed the angle of the stern drain hole. Where it was a longer slit opening in a previous iteration, it has become a simple hole which seems to work out much better for draining. åÊThe former tended to hold a few inches of water in the boat, whereas the new version drains it right out.

Considering 1 gallon of water is about 8 lbs, it makes a huge difference with the change!
