Thanks Don, I guess I owe you a beer
I was thinking if can keep the toleraces tight, and use ample amounts of 5200, it will be sealed. Of course it will have a drain. The B-Bracket is built with the front of the bucket open and is sealed against the transom with polyseam seal. In 5 years, I have had no leak issues.
I appeciate all of your suggestions, spending thousands on this project is just not an option right now. Like I said before, if I was going to spend that kind of money, I would buy a bracket from you!
For a few hundred dollars worth of fiberglass supplies, I'm leaning towards giving this a try.
As for the scuppers, I was planning to redo the stern boxes and move the scuppers outboard anyway, but that's another project. I will probably open the deck drains that I plugged temporily so the boat can still be self bailing until I get to the stern box project.
