I have been looking for a jet boat for about 5 months now and have seen some good n some bad.  One thing I don't know is why some of the boats I  have seen have four holes drilled out of the bottom of hull.
 These holes are the same location for two boats I have seen.
They are about 1 inch and are squared off the transom and gunnals about a foot.
Any body know about these holes?
  I can only guess that they might have been totaled by insurance companies?
Any help ?

If the holes are in the transom, they are simply drain holes. It would utilize a 1" rubber expander plug to plug em'.

Our aluminum boat had 6 drain holes because it was a tunnel bottom and water could get "trapped" all over the place...  

If they were literally "in the bottom", I would be wondering what those were as well....

Yeah they are " in the bottom"   One foot and four feet foreward of transom and one foot in along side of boat 
I will try n send a picture of it.
Text me if any one wants to see the drawing of the holes.

Don't think they are from gas tanks.
Location would be wrong n why have holes in the bottom?
Theses holes are filled in with silicone.

Seen many boats with holes in the bottom...my hydro had holes in the bottom for the pedal, blast plate, gas tanks, strut, etc....the holes are there for some reason...id imagine they were there for something...

Just saw a hallet 77 bubble deck today with those holes in it.
I was wondering if a boat gets sunk and totaled does the INS co drill out hull, or maybe salvage person??

haha, i cant get insurance on my jet boats, so i dont think that would be the reason. do you have any pics? are you sure they were not for bildge plugs

Also pictures would help....
