Pardon the 90's term. :)

I recall some discussion about this elsewhere, but wanted to share my own evidence that there is definitely a lot of construction junk in the rear bilge of these boats. My 242 had a lot of visible crap (hair, dirt, etc.) clogging the hull drain plug, so I removed that platform maintenance hatch to vacuum the whole rear area out. A picture is worth a thousand words, but I'll still throw out a few like: screws, shims, metal shavings and hose clamps!
