: Why not drill out oversize, fill with epoxy thickened with matching wood
: flour, then drill your hole. No yucky plastic on an otherwise beautiful
: kayak.

This would be hard to do without an end pour. You are drilling through both sides of the boat.

I center drilled a 1" hardwood dowel and used it for a tube through both sides of the boat. It probably weighs more than the PVC, but it does kep that part of the boat "all wood"
