Scupper Photos

Looking through the cutout in the false transom.  The 2" scupper goes through the transom and is at the level of the sole.  Looking above the transom you cane see frame E and the outline of a cutout which is attached to the motor hood.  When the hood is raised this cutout gives easy access to the cables and motor.  Out of sight is the splash well floor which spans the space between frame F and the true transom.
This photo shows frame F (you can just see the cutout that is part of the motor hood) with a seat base on each side and in the distance you can see the 2" cutout for the scupper in the true transom.  The finished product will have a full bench seat, the center part removable (as in the picture).  When the seat is in place it will only extend down 3" from the top surface.  This extension is to give the center part of the seat necessary stiffness.  Perhaps there will be a battery on the starboard side and a portable 6 gallon gas tank to port.  Both will be pretty much out of sight tucked under the side seats.
