    That is sweet. I wonder if it will work with just a 1" hole in the back to drain with big enough holes in the deck?

      Well done.
      I think you are going to start a revolution. If there is one boat that seems to need a flood chamber it's this one.

      See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

            How far forward does the flood chamber go ?
            It looks like it is wider near the front of the hatch kinda hard to tell for sure in the picture
            Let us know how it works out on the water cause my boat needs one and if there is anything different you would do next time

                I see the long part of CF but how did you block the front from water going on in there? I would think there is a front piece to this CF blocking any water to go up and in the hull.

                    Jeff, There is a piece in the front. It was the hardest part of it was getting under the deck to seal it. A buddy of mine has small hands and was able to get the resin up in there.

                            The fit is good with 2 packs of Neu 2S lipos. It was tricky to get the balance right at first but I got it and it seems to work good and still keep my c.o.g. I am going to try her out this weekend. So we will see. If nothin else I had fun even if it doesnt work LOL.
