Guys thank you so much for all your help im sorry im asking alot of questions i have just busted my @$$ to get this boat perfect and I dont want to stray on such an important part. as you guys can see im at a point to were i need some sound advice. I feel comfortable building it anyway you guys seem fit.
PICTURE #2 Reel I raised the floor from factory 3/4 of an inch and Im not sure where the floor sits in comparison to the water now, All I know is that Im a whole lot lighter in the transom than it used to be. Also the picture you see of BLUES 74' Is the way i would really like to go with 2 storage boxes port and starboard and a single batter board conecting the 2 storage boxes and 2 scuppers in the transom i WOULD SIMPLY HAVE TO COVER UP THE SUMP WELL i GLUED AND GLASSED IN.

Yeah, Man...I thought you were going for the #2 configuration and the sump would have a weight-supporting grate over it for water collection and pump location...w/no need for scuppers and thru hulls...scuppers are great when new and unclogged, but if a particular design doesn't require them, IMO no need to bother w/them...and of this I'm sure...scuppers are best used w/an inside floor well above the water line...
