Self Bailing Thoughts

While I have yet to get to certain aspects of the build, they still way heavily on my mind. Below are a few links that I have compiled on ideas for helping the boat self-bail.

Thru hull scuppers are sure to be the answer. That or just home made drainage systems. What I have learned so far is that you want to have large ports. 2" or bigger. Add them to the front and back passenger sets. If I'm going to add a bilge, better make it big 1000 GPH.

The game plan at the moment is to have two 2" PVC pipe draining the front and back passenger areas. The drain will go down through the seat and then through the side panels. The rowers footwell will have thru hulls with a scupper flap also exiting on either side of the boat.

I would like to add a bilge to both the front and back and run it off a large 12v Marine Battery. How I am going to accomplish this is beyond me at the moment. But for the rest of it, the links provide some useful information.
