I completely ground out and removed all traces of my bilge last year when I gutted out my '69 Glastron V-145.

What are some techniques on rebuilding the bilge after I install the new stringers, deck and transom?

Design everything under the decks for easy drainage to the stern. No spots that will hold water of slow down the drainange. There was a guy here named Crab Bait who used to do all of his seames with a plastic spoon to round them out to assist drainage.

Plan on where you will install a bilge pump and have everything drain to that spot.
