[alberg30] Finally got the boat in the water

John,

IMHO it is always better to keep water out of the bilge.

Good luck.

  Got the boat in the water today.  Still haven't sailed it, but at least we know it floats.  Time to start a few new projects.
   
  1.    I've priced a new bow pulpit and they are beyond my finances presently.  Has anyone built their own and possibly have a pattern, or better yet, is their a used one out there for sale?
   
  2.    Being an older A30 (#33), it has the outside hatch to the fridge.  It has been closed permantly with a piece of plywood and epoxy.  I would like to bring it back to original.  Does anyone have a diagram, picture, or better yet, an old one for sale?
   
  3.    It would seem a simple thing to put a drain hole to the bilge to let water out of the icebox.  Has anyone done this, or is it even a good idea?
   
  As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.
