Scuppers

I'd like to install a couple of scuppers on my new Raider, but if I measure it correctly it is very close or at the resting waterline. Has anyone got a safe and effective method of accomplishing this? They need to be able to handle small bits of debris, blood and guts, herring heads, whatever! THX C...

NEW Raider NEW Here!

Hello Everyone, I have enjoyed reading all the posts and admiring the boats and the projects. I jumped into the fray with the purchase of a 2009 Raider 185 Pro Fisherman. I had a 2005 Yamaha 90 and a 2008 EzLoader trailer already, just needed a boat. There is a bit of a long story, but I am not goin...
