                I got to thinking about this..instead of using the carbon fiber sheets to build a chamber...why couldnt you take a piece of 2" pvc pipe about 20" long and seal off one end..then take the sealed pipe and hold it against the outside of the transome and trace the 2" pipe and cut it out the slide the assembly into the new hole you cut with the sealed end first then just seal around the pipe at the transome end and then secure the pipe inside the hull with epoxy and some cloth

                seems like this would work fine...if 2" pipe is to large maybe a 1 1/2" pipe

                  Wait Wait I got another idea, have you ever bought drill or end mills they come in a plastic long box thats sealing on one end. Man I love this forum and there are alot of smart guys here.

                    triangle PVC or ABS triangle tube and seal off front and glue to the back of the boat. The hole in the transom is more critcal to be able to fill faster when upside down.
                    Run a couple holes with silicone tubes out the side or top for air.

                    It should work on most v-hulls. The higher you can get it up to the deck the better.

                      I was thinking the same with the silicone hose connected to the tube and out the top of the boat. I love this idea. I will get the square tube things from work and take some pics for ya

                        I only used the carbon because it is so light. Try it it might work.
