Kevin, Alumacrafts have a coating on inside bottom with abrasive. It is for secure footing when wet. What you saw may or may not have been this coating. Mine has little of this coating remaining and also needs to be recoated. It would not surprise me that this boat was made without a drain plug. They are fairly light and shallow boats and are often simply turned over to get any water out. The model F is a pretty fast little 14 foot hull.
As for the water discharge on the side near the water pump, I’m not so sure about that. I know my 10hp OMC’s discharge a but of water out the sides near the lower transom swivel. The 9.5 is a different animal though and I have had mine running yet.
