David, I preparing to haul Gratis, my ’85 (diesel, std. rig), to put the to put the final “Bristol” on her repair/restoration.
I have been toying with the idea of extending the waterline by way of a reverse transom, for looks as well as the added speed. I have some ideas on how to accomplish this but would be very interested in how you built your “sugar scoop”. If you have the time and inclination, I’d love to see some photos and a description of the construction.

I plugged the drain hole to prevent this inflow, but the drag of the flat transom was still a problem so I added a sugar scoop to extend the stern and give me a greater wetted surface. It did a wonderful job and a full knot of recovered hull speed by eliminating the drag of the Catalina's flat transom. I cannot post pictures on this site, but if you are interested I will E-mail them to you directly. David Hoyt Sovereignty Catalina 27 #65 In a message dated 12/31/2009 2:03:13 A.M.

Two questions: 1) Does anyone have any input re: Bowleys Quarters Marina? We're thinking of moving across from the Eastern Shore - it's over an hour closer to our house and somewhat less expensive. 2) We have a 1975 C27 that had an Atomic 4 (which expired and was removed & replaced by an outboard on a bracket). There's a drain hole in the transom (for the cockpit). It takes on water when we're motoring faster than a crawl - we plug it with a removable rubber plug but what if it's pouring rain while we're out there? Anybody have any ideas. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Splendid Solstice & a happy 2010!
