Handy,      Good pics.   Thats the exact same set-up as I have. For those not familiar (with the first pic) that plastic fitting is in the transom wall and the collection area is in the cockpit floor just beneath it.  One thing I'd like to change.   The current fitting leaves water and dirt in the collection area.  I'd like to remove the fitting and replace it with something that has an opening even with the bottom of the collection dip.  That would keep the area much cleaner.   Also, plumb it overboard if possible -  so to keep all the dirt, sand, fishmuck, etc  ... out of the bildge.
 
VAry interesting Pics. Never seen an area like that. Looks like the deck drain, drains into th eone area where it looks like a battery would go, then drains into another area then out the side. This is an I/O.
Lets see some full shots of the V.
 
Handyman, you got a great lookin' "V" there... 8) ... wish I could be of more help in the scupper/floor drain dept...one thing for sure: water only flows DOWN hill...so the outlet HAS to be below the floor drain...I'd go out the sides of the hull and use the inline back-flow valves like Hammer ;) ...


...keep an eye on that bow-rail...lotta bow-rail ENVY goin' on around here ;D ...
 
Thanks REEL, Yes I am very proud of my V, and i will keep both eyes on my rail
 
Handyman, turn down that shine brother on the V. WOW, she's looks sweet. The hull is in great shape.
How much you pay for her and how long you have her ??
Wish I new more about I/O/'s, but those drain valves that I have really work. That or get the ball valve drains that mount on the outside of the hull.
Great Pics. You made my morning. Ruff night working in th erain here in De. :-/
 
These scuppers let water out, but not in. Only thing that I found was that they are slightly bigger in dia. then your standard ones. So you will have to get a reducer for the two seperat size hoses.
 
Well guys, I paid 500.00 for her, boat motor & trailer, but the trailer is junk, but also I am a welder so no problem on the trailer. The alum angle on the transom was instaled for the ladder platform the only leg for it mounts on top of the angle, will post a pic of it later. and i have had the V for 2 weeks, thanks for all your input, this is a great site, and great people are on it...............thanks again.........Handy......
 
OK guys got to head out to work, got to make money so i can throw it in to the V, You all have a great day, and dont forget to get the sweeties some sweets........Handy
