: Hello there Craig,

: I have read the article on the surf70 bullet "scuppers".
: The do indeed look great. For a home builder, I'm thinking it
: would be easier to install bailers that have been around a while
: in the sailing world - and don't protrude from the hull. They
: used to be called "Elvstrom bailers" after the
: inventor but are now called "Anderson bailers" I
: believe:

: If I am not mistaken, this is type of bailer Epic is now using on
: their V12 and Van Dusen uses on their unlimited K-1 Mohican
: speedster.

: Btw, I keep thinking there's a surfski in my future as well.
: Although I don't live near the ocean and don't have waves to
: really surf on...

: Cheers

These bailers work great, assuming the gaskets are in good shape or when you slow down you fairly quickly flood the footwell. Don't ask how I know this .
