I was winterizing my boat a month or so ago and in the process of doing that I put my boat on a hill in my yard to allow all the water in the boat to pump/pour out. Well, it poured/pumped out of the back bilge for something like 15 minutes....I kid you not. There had to have been like 2000lbs of water in the belly of the boat. We have an '09 22v at work and if I remember correct it has a forward bilge, is that correct? Has anyone tried to incorporate a forward bilge in the belly of their boat to tie in with the stern bilge? I keep my boat in my field on sort of a down slope and if it rains without the cover on it'll all go to the bow, would like to remedy this with a forward bilge. I'm not entirely sure I'd even know how to get access to that area though :-?

Though it sounds good in theory, unfortunately it's up against a creek bed and I can only get in their from one angle. I think it'd be handy to have a bilge there.
