Marc -

Thanks for the additional information, I clearly see why you would want some relief from the wash water.

To understand my thinking, when you said scupper I was thinking a 2 or 3" hole at the deck level.

You are correct, the mid to late 1990 Outrage's have deck drains in the gunnels. See 1st and 3rd photo here:

Cutting any hole will not impact the hull integrity, rather it just increases the chances of water intrusion. If the hole was fiberglassed, it would reduce the risk.
