No worries. My apologies for responding like that, was just looking for some helpful feedback.
The scuppers that were on the boat when I bought it were tiny. I cut them out larger to my liking. That was probably a waste of effort since I will be moving them to the stern when i redo the transom and bracket. The drain plug will just get moved to the bottom of the hull when the new bracket is done. structurally the transom is ok at the moment because they used aluminum brackets bolted through the stringers and transom. My glass guy looked at it and said it is solid and can run this way for years, it just looks like hell and needs to be done the right way. I cant stand having it his way and plan on correcting all the issues over the winter.
The new bracket will be both bolted and glassed to the hull. He said he has been building these brackets since the early 80s and they have made some modifications to the design over the years.
