I have a 1985 18' Outrage. It has a forward in deck area that drains overboard when underway. It will fill with rainwater if you plug it and will have several inches in it if unplugged at rest.

The "bilge" is on the rear starboard side and will have small amounts of water at rest when no one is on board. Depending on placement of humans it can allow water to wash the deck at rest if 2 or more are in the stern.

Splash well area stays dry unless lots of weight is in stern at rest. All drain underway.

Mine is kept on lift so no plugs are used. Great all round boat.

Meant to mention the above as it will allow water to get to the tank area. Poor design there.
