seacraft scupper question

[gaulois]

Are you sure the 235 is that light? Actually I was thinking that it could be either a weight issue or a dynamics issue.
If there is any slight change, that combined with speed can cause water to shoot up throught the scuppers. This happened with my 23CC after I had it painted. The guy slightly ground around the hull outlet. Proudly running my boat across the bay with new paint I noticed people were pointing at me. I looked back in horror to see water shooting up the starboard scupper. It was an easy remedy though. I just put a regular plug in that I could removed when not under motor.
