I miss blue-heron’s pics. Those were a wealth of knowledge.
I made some semi circles out of pvc for drainage on the bulkheads. Strick and others have some good ideas on that. I’ve seen others glass work here that just amazes me. I’ve had to learn the hard way. My rigging tube is a fairly large piece of gray electrical pvc conduit run under the gunwale. I put one of the biggest I could in there. 2.5”? Got that one from DonV I think. I wouldn’t try to go out sides with drainage unless on bilge pumps. It’s below the water line and uphill with not a lot of room. I’m trying to put bilge pumps fore and aft. 1 fore and 2 aft on manual and auto float switches. I’ll probably add a little landing pad in there like blue heron did to collect water and mount the bilge pump fore. What you’re suggesting is how I raised my center stringer to be even with the other 2 to give me a landing surface for fuel tanks. Add some mini bulkheads in there. Leave space for drainage though down the middle. I tried to wrap my center stringer in 1 continuous piece of glass like an upside down u. In retrospect I should’ve taken my router and done a 1/2” round over on the top of it. I did round it over (1/4”?) but not nearly enough. I ended up wrapping it with 2 pieces like an L with about 3” of overlap and did 3 layers over my coosa.
