Speed wasn't the reason. The extensive redesign with the motor bracket gave me another 6 sq.ft of useable deck space. Because we were unsure of the at rest water level with a full transom and the bracket we omitted the scupper holes. I have the double automatic bilge pumps as you mentioned. Shifted a lot of weight forward in the boat to compensate for the bracket and the results were awesome. At rest we could put the scuppers back in but I hate having water on deck when heavily loaded.
That is what you risk when you modify the original.
