[Oldboat]

Yea spending way to much. No turning back now. I have been working in the keys since the hurricane so not much time to get on it

Did a little work today

I am planning the belly/bulk heads on my 20 right now. Will water be able to drain from for forward bulk heads into bilge? Everything looks sealed to me?

What type of hatches are you using?

[Oldboat]

Yes I have marine hose that will come out the bottom of anchor hatch going down along keel I leaf opening under the forward bulkheads to drain under tank coosa board. You can’t see but I have drains in the back of main stringers and will be drilling more after foaming.i don’t want to drill drains anywhere Above tank board for I don’t water draining between tank and coosa.

Please understand this is just how I am doing it. There are a lot more ways others have done it. I am not a boat builder just a back yard builder hoping for the best.
