After over three years with my Suzuki 300AP that was purchased at International Marine on my 79 Sceptre with original deck height and a 25 inch transom height.... I do not need to put plugs in the scuppers unless I have an extra 300 - 400 pounds of coolers, bait well, etc. sitting in the stern. I do keep the motor well drain plugs in. Because of the weight forward with the cabin, my 23 freeboard is not reduced by the weight of the motor. My prior motor was a 225 Johnson. The extra weight is not a concern at all.
