Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: best location to drill hull

I have a 1970 13' side console that has ingested gallons of water. Just before I pulled it out of the water, with only a battery and 40hp, the stern was squatting to about 2" from the bottom of the Whaler decal. Empty screw holes and a coupe of spots on the sole that have no gel coat and bare mat is visible.
It's in my garage and I'm wondering where the best place to drill a/some weep hole(s)? Inside at the transom, inside in the drain well, outside at the bottom of the transom or on the bottom of the hull at the transom?
Any input or past experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
