I wouldn't run without a bilge pump whatever you do. Remember, a one way/scupper only works when the motor runs - you have to be moving to drain. A bilge pump only works when you have electrical power. So, with both, you have back up systems and will nearly always be able to get water out of your boat. It's not worth saving the cost of a bilge pump when you consider the cost of sinking....

Only need one. I ride surf and I have never used a bilge pump since the one-way valve.
