I would answered that the boat is not self bailing as it does not have scuppers like the sport model. It has a small well with a bilge pump and a plug in the bottom of the well. So all the years that we had that boat at Welch I ran down batteries running the pump on auto until ishoot308 gave me a solar charger.
I did know that the Whaler has flotation under the floor but it never occurred to me to just pull the plug and see what happened. Well of course it is the unsinkable boat and now I guess that the well will fill and then that is about it. Now if only I had learned that 9 years ago!
