Do you think any water that hits the deck will drain forward as opposed to aft toward the scuppers or do I need to add some ballast in the rear???

Am I over-thinking again? HELP!
You probably want to go with a Sears Gamefisher instead of that Eska. That or quadruple Force 125's ('87 model, The black ones with the digital watch graphics) on a bracket with custom ventelating steps built into the hull.
