Drain Plugs

I just bought a 1988 Revenge 22 W-T.

Q1: do I put a plug in the back of [a 1988 REVENGE 22 W-T]?

It doesn't seem like [a 1988 REVENGE 22 W-T] takes a plug. There's a scupper in a hold.

Q2: does the hold always have water in it unless you're up on plane?

Q3: how well does the [REVENGE 22 W-T] drain off rain?

ASIDE: I'm excited about this REVENGE 22 W-T as I've always liked a cathedral-hull boat. I've loved Dick Cole's Airslot and Thunderbird hull designs, and I like the design of this Revenge.

The REVENGE hull is based on the OUTRAGE hull, and it was designed by Bob Dougherty, as an evolution from the original DIck Fisher designed OUTRAGE 21 hull.
