The other day when turning my boat over I heard some rattling from inside the hull.
My initial thought was that it could only be a big piece of resin or a detatched piece of the bracing wood. The boat is only a couple of years old and looks and feels perfect so I cannot see why bits inside would be loose.
One other possibility is that some of the numerous snails in the compound have crawled in through the transom drain plug hole, which I always leave unplugged, and their dead shells are now free to roll around.
I intend to go back to the club and stand the boat up on its transom to bring the loose bits to the back and then to fish about with a bit of wire to try and get a looksee.
Is my snail idea "off the wall"? and has anyone had bits come loose inside a fairly new hull. I also have the problem of how to reverse the "ship in a bottle" puzzle.
Any thoughts. (I am not about to cut any inspection ports).
I could of course just ignore it.
