Interesting on the 1 inch above the cockpit floor purpose, sounds like one of those "half-vast" efforts if true.
Boris, you wrote

Once the 4 access holes from the cockpit deck to bilge area are closed up on my boat (don't know if yours has them), there really isn't anyway for a substantial amount of water to get to the bilge area except what leaks past the closed hatch covers. The 500-1000 gph bilge pump behind the gas tank should easily take care of the small amount of water that gets into that area. The water on top of the cockpit will eventually run out the 2 scuppers. Am I missing something?

Transom door! yay! Maybe that little door in the C-Ranger 25 is a good idea after all. It bars splashes and small waves from the cockpit, but would prob pop open (if not locked) if a large amount flooded in. John
