Re: Jim Wills
The early Alumacrafts, at least at the smaller end of the line, came with no transom drain. I believe they were dealer installed. A fellow just put one in on a Model R I saw that dates from the mid-1950s. That will have to be undone...he used what is commonly available today which is plastic and brass. Nothing like the nice aluminum 3 piece setup with washers that I believe the dealers installed years ago. I think a bolt with washers is a makeshift solution given the desire to drain and the lack of good parts for these boats. Others may have a clear recollection or better knowledge, but most of the pre-1960 boats had what I described above. A couple had thru bottom drains....
