Adding a Drain and Plug to a Small Boat

In this video I take you along with me as I install a DIY, budget friendly drain in my j
Jon boat. At my local hardware store, parts were only $1.65 plus tax to do this project. Now, if I get in a thunderstorm on the way to or from the lake, river or coast I can just pull the plug and drain the boat or leave it out until I start to put the boat in the water. I hope this will help somebody out there. Thank you for watching.

Where did you get the thru hull fitting? Size? Cost?

An inexpensive solution!! My 1962 Sea King has no drain plug. I’ve had to store it upside down to keep water out of it. Thanks for the info!!
