18' Century Resorter

Does that bring back memories. My dad use to have Higgins boats. Wooden boats made by the Higgins of torpedo boats fame. They made excellent ski boats! Every time we take the boat out I would open the engine hatch and pump out the water by hand. When my right hand gets tired I would switch over to my left hand. The old boats were known to seep water, either between the caulks or from the propeller shaft, which is stuffed every year.
