Nice work AJ. I was thinking about this very same solution a few days ago, and tonight I stumbled across your thread. I am slated to pick up an old 13 later this spring, and I will probably be replacing the drain tubes as well.

I have been wanting to ask you about your Awlgrip. Did you do it yourself? That is a beautiful boat you have now. Makes me antsy to get going on mine...

Thanks Pat
