248 voyager scuppers

When on our sea trial yesterday we had 5 people on the boat, when we where all on the scuppers where about 1-2" below the water line which did push some water up into the boat. When everyone was out of the boat at dock the scuppers where above the water line. Is this the norm?

I've had 4 adults and 2 small kids on board and haven't noticed any water backing up. I've not had 5 large adults onboard at the same time.
You have 2 motors on back + 5 persons may make a difference.
Were they large persons?
Look at the pic. of my voyager I'm the only person in the boat when this pic. was taken and compare the location of scuppers in relation to waterline.
I've read post of some gradys with heavy motors,fuel tanks full and heavy adults on board getting water at scuppers.

BTW we are on fresh water, salt water has a higher buoyancy so boats will sit higher. Anyone on fresh water experience this?
