It is just aft, on both sides of the trunk.

Does your boat have removable floor boards in the walkway? Anyone know when that was added? My 1984 traditional interior boat had them. It made removing water from the bilge much easier. If all is well, the bilge should be dry!

I think it depends on the interior.
From what I understand the dinette sk models did not get them. I cut a hole on each side of the trunk and installed deck plates.

Deck plates, great alternative.
