Regardless of size and backup (I agree size matters and a backup is a must), I think they both need to be near the stern of the boat, and nothing would be needed up in the bow area given the way a v sits in the water. Am I right on this guys?

yes as in most hulls you need them at the transom if there is enough water for a front pump to run it's going to sink, unless it's a non front draining hull like my Sea Ray 250 it has a bilge area in the cabin but the V has a cabin drain tube to the transom.

on my 79, I relocated the batteries from the aft bilge to where the fishing boxes are, I left one pump in the aft bilge, put one pump in the same area where the batteries are, and plan to put one pump in the area in front of the fuel tank, I figure it that way, any area thats dependant on draining thru a bulkhead will have its own pump

You guy will remember my V never had pumps for a long time and that is because of them failing all the time! I hate them!
The OX has 2 that came with the boat, one in the rear and one in the cabin, both wired seprate and on float switches. One was messed up already with a bad float switch :( What is so hard about making a good working pump?? They cost enough for these junks!

Rule has some new "gold" pumps that seem to hold up well, they ought to, they cost enough. I have given up on the "sure bail"(sure fail) switches, they are a good concept, just the wires are not heavy duty enough, they won't hold the amperage of the bigger pumps, Rule has a 20 amp rated float switch that seems to hold up well. I have had good luck with the Johnson pumps, but their switches suck. The smaller Attwood pumps don't seem to be as good as the rules, I like the cartridge concept. It seems every year, they change the base so the last models won't work with the new pumps
