    The deep sump-less (free?) aft bilge access.

    The real point of interest on this tour is the third picture.

    THis is the aft most bilge access (under the sink).

    The upward slope (to the left in the picture) is going aft, it tapers down forward to the bilge pump (forward, or to the right in the picture).

    THere is no 'deep sump' on Faith, and the more I look at the glass down there, the less I believe there may have ever been one.

    Hmmm... Well, looking at your pics, if it was a post-factory sump fill in, whoever did it took great pains to do a nice job. What is the black spot which appears in the upper left part of the picture above? Any plans to do a core sample?

    Maybe Al Capone is in there? Or Blackbeards lost treasure? Does it sound solid when you tap on it? What about from the outside?
