My 84 has it around fuel tank, that's it.

And I agree that your boat seems to float unusually high. I thought maybe it was grounded or listing away from the camera

Also, did you move the fuel fill? and the scuppers?

Basically scuppers are drains on a boat. They allow water that has come onboard to drain back into the sea automatically. On large boats they are openings that are welded into the deck rail.
On Wellcraft boats they are holes in the back near the transom that allow the water to drain off the deck (sometimes called the cockpit) ... hence the term "self-bailing cockpit" that you'll find occasionally.
The main difference between a drain and a scupper is that a drain just allows water to drain into the bilge, below the water line, where your bilge pump must remove it, and a scupper is on a deck that is high enough above the water line to allow the water to drain back into the sea without the need for a pump.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
