Re: 25 Seafari Project
It is interesting that your scuppers are midship. I would think that your floor would have to taper from transom towards the bowls whereas mine tapers slightly to the transom.
I was interested in how it drains with the bow up because of a situation I got into last summer. I had 6 adults in the boat, the plugs were in, we were cruising a narrow channel on an overcast day. I had the rear camper top off. Within seconds it seemed, we had a storm cloud over us which dropped about 5 gallons of rain on us in the time it took the 4 ladies to run to the cabin(seconds). Some of the water followed them and dropped into the stepdown. At the same time I was popping the bow up and told my buddy to pull the plugs. The rain continued the same for at least 5 minutes or so before we got through in zero visibility conditions. Upon pulling the plugs, the water took no time to drain and continued to do so for our entire voyage.
So I guess my question is, under those conditions, would yours drain?
