Nice work! That boat is sitting perfect at rest. Can you get an under bracket picture from your tender showing the self bails? How much fuel was on board when the picture was taken? I want to see inside & console pictures so I can endorse the Gucci award.

The console is the original and I hate it (too short for me and access sucks) At some point when I replace it we can revisit Gucci but I appreciate the consideration.

As far as the scuppers are concerned, with the Mercs and the Stainless bracket, they were about 4 inches underwater but the deck always self bailed and would never flood even with two people aft. I guess the deck is much higher than the scuppers? With the Armstrong and Honda’s, scuppers are about two inches higher. I will get some pics.

I had a 150 gallons on board, minimal gear (life raft etc) and four people during sea trial but it was just me on the 50 mile ride home.
