<DIV><FONT size=2>I had the same problem one year with the floor boards lifted
up and floating on about 4 inches of ice. The January rains always used to
end in the bilge. The cure to all my worries was to install a garboard
plug about 2 inches above the bottom of the bilge. I have never again had
this problem and now have perfect peace of mind in this regard. Doug Wight
