Just ordered a set of one way scupper valves for my OK Scrambler.  It has always been a wet ride in the foot well, but I've been hesitant to plug all of the scuppers. Found the scupper valves on ACK and figured if give them a shot.  Any one ever try these?

Yeah, I found the ride a bit wet too.
Tried the plugs, but ended up too lazy to use them.
Sold that boat and still regret it.
Glad it went to a good kid though! :smt001

Another really simple thing to do, is put a piece of duct tape half covering the hole on the bottom side of the scupper hole. 
Any forward progress will suck the water out. 
Of course it does slow draining when you are sitting still...

Shout out to Bernoulli and his principle.

I have them and they work great.  You have to me moving for the water to go away, but they work great.  I use them all the time.
So long and thanks for all the fish!!!
