Wouldn't the cockpit scuppers be out the transom? I can't see the transom
in that picture.

If they are anywhere, they must be in the transom, otherwise there are
just small plumbing drains which would be totally inadequate for a
huge cockpit like that.


I would consider it more of a near shore fishing boat,

Why is that?

Not enough protection from down flooding if you take a substantial
wave into the cockpit. That's OK in good weather and/or
semi-protected water, but a significant risk offshore in bad weather.
