Welcome to the forum, very clean rig.
I would think it would match up to the original brass plug that is already there.
I pondered that one because the drain hole was bigger. But I went with the offset one that just screws in the existing drain plug hole .Works great at 8,000 lumens

The brass mickey mouse led drain I posted above is supposed to be installed with the the existing bolts without any drilling, but I’ll find out for sure in a few days when I have the boat in my driveway.

Crap i think you're right. Just involves unscrewing/screwing eh? I can get behind that.

This is proof positive that I haven't seen my boat/a boat in way tooooooooo long.

If it's sealed in with 5200 it's going to be a b itch to get off.

That's what I'm hoping not to find, that stuff is no joke. If it comes off I'll use 4000 to put the LED version on. If it doesn't come off I'll go with something else, like the one cmattj posted.

I finally towed my boat home from the dealership yesterday. Here’s a couple pics of it behind my truck, and more will follow. :D

Edit: It only lets me attach one pic on mobile, I’ll add more later from home.

I almost bought that 232 last September. It is in good shape. I ended up going with an 06 226.

Cool. By the time I came along it was still on consignment and listed $21,300 obo. You probably saw it had some nicks in the props, the trailer needs a little tlc, the old stereo is bad, and the trim indicator wasn't working.

I offered them $15,000 and they accepted.

The Prop Doc in Provo already fixed the props for $200 cash, I already got the trim indicator working after buying a new sender, I'm installing a new Sony stereo and JBL speakers today, and the trailer will get some fresh paint and new bunks in a couple weeks. Also, I just did my inventory last night by emptying all of the storage compartments onto my front lawn, and this is everything they gave me with the boat:

That's quite the inventory. Looks like you've got about everything you need to get started.

Yeah, it was a definite selling point that it had all that gear in it. I"m a first time owner (long time boater) so getting all that gear was a nice addition to that boat. Back then they wouldn't take less than $20k i was told, so I moved on. You got a killer deal.

Awesome! Glad they included all that stuff too. When I looked at my boat (it was on consignment too), it had some dock lines, fenders, basic life jackets, an anchor, etc. I assumed all that would come with it, never clarified though. When the boat was delivered to me it was empty, they took everything out. I was really disappointed in them for that.

That's why when I sell a boat it's empty and I say you get just the boat. All the extra crap is what costs money. As all of you are all finding out the boat is the cheap part.
