I have been making some slow but steady progress. The weather has not been cooperating at all up here. Here are a couple semi-current progress shots of the stringer sections and knees. I currently have them installed, glassed and tabbed, and the stringer sections filled with foam, but need to grab some more pictures.







After bouncing ideas around on the scuppers in the other thread, and a little guidance from Rick, I got my scupper angle offset blocks made up. As soon as the sun peeks out for a moment, I will be doing a pile of measuring and we'll get these blocks stuck to the back of her. Here is to hoping for closed scuppers and dry feet.











More to come shortly.

Everything looks great - the scupper mounts are beefy for sure.
Where are your scuppers going to be? Is the back of the boat going to have a cabinet and these will be behind the cabinet? Are you going to mount them so they are below the level of the floor a little, making a recess for water to pool into?
My scuppers are flush with the floor and I wish I had made them a little below the floor.

Awsome work!  Did you lay your scupper wedges up as wedges, or did you grind them to that shape?

Rick,

Current plan is to have a central cabinet between the knees. Outside the knees on both sides the deck will extend to the transom where these will be located. The bottom of the scuppers, and the recesses you speak of, will be approximately 1" below the deck height. That is unless you think 1" isn't enough. Now would be the time to change that if I am going to.

Awsome work!  Did you lay your scupper wedges up as wedges, or did you grind them to that shape?

I laid them up as wedges. made up a melamine wedge form at 15 degrees. Very little waste that way, and I knew when it was enough material laid down. I used the angle grinder to bring the surface back down to the mold, cut  them in half, screwed them together and rough cut the shape on a bandsaw and finished on a disc sander.

Murphy plays his hand in where the water will pool - you think it will pool around your scuppers and Murphy says it will actually pool up against the cabinet. To make it pool where you want you may have to build up where the floor meets the cabinet and transom so the water drains toward your scuppers. You can do it with an extra layer of cloth or two tapering away from the corners.

Excellent advice. I will shape my drain recesses accordingly. Thank you for that.

Another option is to create a slight crown in your deck.

Dish em out. The tabbing of the knees and hullsides will build it up a bit in the corners so it shouldnt really pool much. You can kinda see some tabbing in this pic. Wash it down and see how it does, if needed just build up some more.

dirtwheelsfl, Good call there. Looking forward to getting my 222 to that stage.

I got the scupper angle blocks mounted, and drains roughed into the transom so I thought I would share and keep the build thread fresh.. I have some fine-tuning to do, but I was pretty excited to see the this step take shape. I was even more excited to see every core from the hole saw turn out a well bonded series of layers from the transom layup. I thought my clamps were pretty good, but you always wonder about what you can't see.

Looks great!  Plus, the scupper flaps will have to be more effective when they don’t need to fight gravity to seal.

That's the plan. Simple and (hopefully) effective.

Making some more headway since we finally got a week without rain. I removed the cap today. Every square inch of wood core in the cap is toast, so it will be getting replaced with synthetics. It was good though to fully see what I am up against.





I have decided I will not be using the liner aft of the casting deck. I am wondering though if the thickness of the sides of hull itself is generally accepted as structurally sufficient when tied into the deck and bulkheads, or if I should be adding a layer of glass on the inside.
