I think Ikan and Bigshrimpin got it right. Luckily I have a 79 MA that came with a 25 inch transom and scupper holes out the transom instead of underneath (as in the 78 MA for instance). Slightly modified ball scuppers keep our feet dry and she self bails when docked, even with a Honda 130 "anvil" on the back.
Regardless of the topside configuration, that soft riding vd hull gives any seacraft 20 the versatility of shallow water work yet the ability to handle some pretty nasty stuff out front. It trailers and launches easily too.
