Duckworth Offshore
Anybody having a problem with the Duckworth Offshore or Weldcraft Cuddy King not really having a self-bailing rear deck??!! My boat sits a little bow down in the water, (even w/fulll fuel) and when if rained a bunch, the water did not drain to the rear, it ended up in the Hull, forward of the factory installed bilge pump!

Re: Duckworth Offshore
I have a Duckworth 26 OS and have not had any problems and I had my boat in the marina for 4 months and would rinse out the back deck after each use. Sounds like you rear deck is not sealed had a little water in the hold but not enough to run the bildge.

I have an '11 Weldcraft 260 Cuddy King and with a 175 gal full tank or with only 40 gal in it, zero issues.

What size of boat do you have? I have heard of some others having the same issue.

Re: Duckworth Offshore
My understanding is the issue primarily lies with single OB models. People that have twins have the appropriate weight ratio...as it was originally designed.sitkaspruce wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2012 7:39 pm Anybody having a problem with the Duckworth Offshore or Weldcraft Cuddy King not really having a self-bailing rear deck??!!
