That was such fun that I designed another one. This is one that could be done with a single "through the bottom" bulkhead overflow drain. It is a bit wild, but I do think it would work and be safe.
(Mind you...if something blocks your only bulkhead, you've got a problem whether you've done this mod or not!)
