If you're talking about that wedge on the bottom, no, SeaCraft's came from the factory like that.

There was a wood block installed between the hull and inner liner where the scuppers are. The brass tubes eventually corrode and start to leak, causing the wood to rot. Here's a couple of shots from the top I took when I repaired mine. I installed a pvc/wood dowel from the bottom to create a plug, filled the hole with thickened epoxy, redrilled the hole and then replaced the brass tube. There is a well about 3" across and 1" deep (2-3" deep in later models with raised decks) in each corner of the cockpit where the scupper tubes are located. You could probably create a more durable version of the same thing using a bronze or Marelon thru-hull fitting. But the wedge on the bottom in front of the outlet is the key to creating a lot of suction!
