Nice work. I like your scupper tubes.

Here are some pictures of the scupper set up. It's designed to minimize the number of holes through the hull. The actual scupper tubes were molded and epoxied into place. A drain pipe for the baitwell is seen.

The transom was ground from the outside, so that the tube could be glassed back over and cut out, basically making it an integral part of the transom.

PVC drain lines were molded with a heat gun and epoxied into the scupper tubes. Both the tubes and drain lines are angled so that nothing flows into the boat. Seen here are drains for the baitwell, the port side bilge pump, the forward in-floor fishbox, and the port side insulated storage box in the transom cap.

Here are both sides with the drains epoxied into the scupper tubes. Note that the entire cap has been removed in this picture.

A view from the outside of the port side scupper. The transom has been glassed and initially faired, and the drain lines are visible as they enter into the scupper tube. Fairing still needs to be done where each drain line joins the tube.

Very nice work looks like you've done this before.

I wish I could take the credit, but it goes to my friends at F&B Boatworks here in Savannah. They really know how to get it right through experience, and are pretty cool about letting me think that I'm making the decisions.

We are creeping up on finishing the transom. Here is the inner wall being trial fit.

A view of the back side of the inner transom wall. The flanges have been installed on the lower hatches. PVC rod holder tubes are also epoxied in place.

The wall assembly glassed in place.

Bonefish i hope you wont be offendid if i copy some of the idea's on your transom well and boxs's ! I have looked at alot of enclosed transom's and i like your's alot. I will probably put multiple tuna tubes in the transom as well maybe 2-3 on each side.
