I have heard this mentioned before and I do not know what it means. What is "crossing the scuppers"? My tentative plan is to have as large of scuppers as possible go straight out the back. Add some of the Gemlux duckbills to avoid water coming back in. That and the deck being 2" higher will hopefully mean dry feet, but I am open to this crossing idea if it works and is recommended.

By bulkheads I assume you mean the ones separating the cuddy area from cockpit area. I am going to glass in 1" Carbon Core honeycomb. Same material I am using for the deck. Below deck bulkheads in front of and behind the fuel tank will be glassed in 3/4" Coosa. Spare material from the transom core.
The stringers have the foam insulation inserts and vinyl downspouts epoxied in place and fillets done. Tomorrow starts the glassing. Hopefully, I will have pics of the completed stringers by the weekend. Then it is time to work on getting the tank in.
