Agreed, we did this on Impromptu almost 7-8 years ago.
We drilled the hole a quarter inch below the floor of the bilge...FROM THE OUTSIDE!!!
I think the diameter of the threaded piece is 1", I took it to Home Depot and found a male adapter that fit....and pieced a 6" piece of PVC with a 45 degree angled end....
Bilge drains dry and no water running down the keel.
The drain unscrews out and the plug sits just under the hull surface.....we swipe it with a dollop of Bondo and bottom paint.
End of season, we just pick out the 1" circle of Bondo and screw the PVC drain back in.
An easy DYI project....
