I bought my first SF ('79) and discovered it weighed almost 170 lb. I naively followed some online instructions and drilled two 1.25" inch holes in the deck -- one a few inches aft of the bow handle and the other just aft of the traveler -- as starter holes for inspection ports, only to discover flotation foam directly beneath them both. (The hole for an inspection port aft of the splashguard worked much better.) Now I have the task of filling the other two holes. Should I go ahead and enlarge them to take 4" inspection ports that don't serve any useful purpose? (Seem simple.) Or should I try to patch them with fiberglass. (Seems complicated.)
