Our 2016 24 SSL has plugs in the stern of all three pontoons at the bottom. Never even registered in my mind since our ‘92 Funship has drain plugs. When I read here about Bennys not having plugs AND being compartmented, I almost passed out. After reading hours of posts, I’m getting over it and feel that in the next year I will get to the bottom of all this and also feel everything can be repaired. I carefully inspected the pontoons when on the trailer but had no idea about the plugs. One question I may still be able to ask the previous owner is why. Knowing what I do now, unless you knew you had leaks in all three pontoons aft, there would be no reason to do that. If you didn’t know the pontoons were chambered, maybe that’s a reason. Argh. We will be watching closely this summer, may even pull it out for a check but otherwise will enjoy our “new” boat and try not to stress. It’s otherwise in really good condition and we really like it. Actually looking forward to 1) talking to the seller and 2) pressure testing this Fall. Thanks for all the good info on this board. C.
