I have a 2015 Carolina skiff 198 dlv. there are five bilge drains in the transom. (Can’t figure out how to post pic) I’m trying to better understand how the hull is constructed and figure out why I take on water (very little).

Hull: basically a “tri-hull”, three separate bilges, yes? Based on some ...

Ok thanks. So you’re saying inside the barrier islands? Better chances than going outside the islands?

I’ve got a couple nights towards the end of July at Econfina resort and looking forward to exploring the area on the boat (Carolina skiff 198 dlv). I grew up shallow water fishing/boating in SW FL, just never here.
