I removed the taillight castings and used some scrap lumber to build a brace to protect the fins. Rolled the boat over to clean up the bottom. Need to replace the drain plug assembly. I need to come up with an elegant solution for what I assume are bullet holes (14 at last count) and the patch. Looks like somebody was a capable welder.

Can you still buy the drain plug assembly? I'm looking for one for my Flying Crest.

I haven't gotten that far. Still have to see what is under the old rusty stuff.
I am open to suggestions for a replacement drain plug.

Plugs are still available from Crestliner dealers and Crestliner online.
