In one example, a watercraft includes a hull that defines a recessed portion, and the hull is a unified, single-piece, structure. The watercraft further includes a self-draining scupper with a passageway that is integral with the hull and communicates with the recessed portion, the passageway extending from the recessed portion through an exterior surface of the hull. The self-draining scupper further includes a stopper disposed in the passageway, and a flow plate that helps to confine the stopper in the passageway.
