relocating scuppers

[frazier]

just bought one of these V20 boats , its a cuddy cabin with an omc out drive which i will convert to an out board on a bracket , but what a stupid designe for the scuppers they just drain into the bilge! i dont even think the floor is high enough above the water line to run them overboard. Do these boats have enough foam flotation in them to keep from sinking or are they a death trap waiting to sink out from under you in a storm! I see two options with this thing , one is to build a huge sump where the engine used to be and install two large bilge pumps and drain the scuppers into there or raise the floor 5 or 6 inches and do a proper pair of scuppers out the stern. What do you guys think?
