Drains
 

As far as tank area I have run a 1/2 coosa board on top of keel stringer the full length of stringers and put an additional one under the 85 inch’s of tank. This will give@ 1/2 step down to drain if water ever gets in there and also bulked up to 1 inch under the tank itself. There will be drain hole to rear the f tank past the small step down. Hope this helps u to understand my plan

Other thing that helped me was I made my tank lower and longer witch gives me 3 inch between new deck and tank so I run additional wire chase strait back. My brother in law did not do this and he had clearance issues for the deck. Plus a littler thinner on tank for the stringer boxes are not strait so no clearance issue, for me it was a good place to pay attention and tank fits perfect

Thanks for the reply. Also plan on leaving 3 inch gap between deck and tank. Still thinking about the flow of water..

I would consider sleeving the drain line running the length of the bilge in PVC just in case you had to replace it in the future.

Drain
 

Capt Chuck makes a good point. When I took my step/fish box out there was a pocket of about 2 gallons of water that the foam was blocking from draining, it was nasty black water. The other thing I found is when the last tank was foam in foam got past tank board support and was blocking water from draininin properly along keel. I think at this point I’m going to just put a drain in out the bottom front of anchor box were door use to be since it will be above deck since I took step out . I am taking door out for anchor locker and moving it on top of deck as others have done. This will make it possible to when I rinse anchor locker to have water run out on deck no worry about issues down the road. I will create channel still in bow along keel so water will drain don’t won’t not xtra weight and lot water back in there. Will post pics when done

What weight coosa are you building with? Bluewater 20 or 26 or a mix of both? I’m assuming you would have used 26 for the transom but was curious what you’re using for the other panels.

Coosa 26
 

Coosa 26. The transom is 2 pieces of 1 1/2 bonded together .decks 1 inch
