Not sure which is worse! Well, okay, rats are worse.

Make sure you don't leave a watermelon on the boat either. Just saying...

Rats ... remeber the story in Dashews' book ...

They die - They stink.

They rot - They stink.

Skeletons don't stink....


Unless it rains!

Oh I dont know what is worth, but I can garentee the smell of rotten potatos (the ones that have gone to liquid) will stick in you mund fore ever.

No.... I have smelt all of those, the worst is a rancid grease trap at a resturaunt, come to work with an empty stomach, a strong gag reflex, and a smile (it helps stop you from gagging)! As for rats if you think you might have them I would set a trap or two so you don't have to search the boat looking for the body.

But there is no resturaunt grease trap on most boats.,,, then again I have seen some bilges that could be grease traps.

Dead rats in an inaccessible part of the boat is the number one reason to set traps and never use poison. It's not happened to me but a friend told me about when they had three rats die on their boat. It would have been far simpler to do an internal refit.
