31" x 24" x15 leaning post. Going to have tackle center in the back. And ideas on layup schedule. I am thinking 12oz biax tape 2 layers inside and 1 layer out out and 10oz woven over the entire outside.

This is the tackle center going in the back of my leaning post. It needs to be removable so the flange will be screwed into the back of the leaning post with epoxy sleeved 1/4 20 thru bolts. What glass would you recommend for the box 1/4" Marine fir and flange 1/2 birch ply. I'm thinking 12 oz biax on inside seams 10 oz woven outside and 2 layers of 12 oz biax on the flange to box joint inside and out.

Id just use 1x 10oz on everything, and the biax in corners...

Templates for gunwale support/ rod holders. Thinking all composite on these. Spongy cord hold down type.

So I am going to be running my scupper tubes out the transom and was wondering if I should pitch them down at all from the rear http://www.classicseacraft.com/commu...pictureid=3147bulkhead to the transom or should I keep them in the same plane as the sole/floor?Height above Waterline is a precious commodity. And the sole/floor will already be pitched slightly downward due to the regular trim of the boat. Opinions please.http://www.classicseacraft.com/commu...pictureid=3146

Leland the best I can tell mine are parallel to the floor. Which means they have a natural slope downward to the transom as the boat is at rest.

scuppers in on both sides.

Looking nice Leland. I also have a 78 MA . Mine is a factory 25" transom (shot) I've just read this whole thread . It answered some ?'s I have and created many more LOL.

I'm involved in a couple of non boat projects and when they are tidied up I plan on setting about the deconstruction/reconstruction of mine. I figure 0ne to two years and 10.000.00 to 15,000.00 dollars. This is probably my forever boat though.

Your work looks great! Waiting anxiously for more progress pics LOL.
