[QUOTE="user 10949, post: 320864, member: 10949"] The highest flow rate that fits your budget would be the best choice. A bilge being a safety device will only protect you up to just below it's "actual flowrate" of incoming water. i say "actual flowrate" because I've never seen a bilge run anywhere near it's claimed rate of flow. worst case scenario would be like a completely failed bulkhead or tear in the hull. if my math is correct a 3/4" hole , 2ft underwater, would take on 20 +- gpm an empty 1448 with 24" side walls holds 830 +- gallons. it's full to the rim in 35 +- minutes with no bilge pump.
