Re-attached my liner pieces today with thickened resin.and also cut and prepped one of my old fish boxes that I removed from the floor as my new splash well. Just basicly did some prep for the sole today. I cant wait to get this floor in.:sun:

Looks like yer gonna take the floor all the way back to the tranny...will the floor have some "fall" to it to drain into the well...and I'm thinkin' the well will be complete w/pump(s) and drain-grate so nobody steps off into it in the heat of battle that's surely gonna erupt...:sun:...like the use of the partial floor hatch liner....:clap:

REEL yes I will have one bilge pump in the motor "splash" well and one below deck. The reason I even used the the fish box liner instead of the old motor well was because the fish box liner has the 3/4 inch recessed lip on it so I can drop in the drain grate made from teak to keep the boys from busting there butt in that hole. Im also going to have 2 ball scuppers at deck level on port and starboard.The floor has factory grade to the rear seeing how the stringers i installed are factory height.

I had a '74 for 11 years...and your plan worries me a bit...the 70s models had floors set AT water level....later when Wellcraft went to a self draining floor deck, it was RAISED above water level to accomplish that function...if you install scuppers AT water level, even the ball type, will you have the draining capability you're looking for?

ball scuppers
 
My plan was to not install the scuppers till i splash it and find out floor height ( BUT IT WAS IN THE DRAIN PLANS) LOL!!. My dad had scuppers on his, but his was a 84'

That's why I brought it up as a concern...your dad's '84 was AFTER Wellcraft raised the floor and heightened the cap to make self-draining and put the fuel tank under the floor...good luck w/it and w/your skills, I'm confident if you install scuppers in wrong place, you can always reposition them...:clap:

Well today due to the holiday I was able to rough in my sole and also cut the hole for my splash "sump well". I recessed the rough opening on the sump liner hole so I can glue in my fabricated splash well and glass over the lip flush with the my glass for my sole.
