OK, lets try for some real info this time and no insults. Do so-
called offshore boats really have good scuppers? Can anybody provide
a link to a pic of such?
Next, areas below the deck, are they sealed on offshore boats or
accessible via a hatch? How much do said hatches leak? (my sealed
compartments have 6" screw in type access ports).

I like Pasco. Interesting that he says to seal up scuppers if they
are too low and rely on bilge pumps.

In the pic he gave, the scupper was even with the cockpit sole, so why
have a bilge pump? Where is the pump pumping if the deck is supposed
to be sealed?

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Honest to goodness, sir, you have no business heading 50 miles out into
the Atlantic Ocean in a little outboard boat, and I mean no insult.



I agree.

When we were in Florida (Jupiter) even the big boats planning the crossing
would assemble down by Peanut Island, wait for good weather, then all make
the crossing together.

Do you still have your place in Florida? When my mother moved to Florida
she first lived in the Jupiter area, but then moved south to W. Palm
Beach. Too far south in Florida for me to live; I cannot tolerate that
sort of heat, but...in the winter, it's a great place to visit.
