[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 238693, member: 4469"] Make sure there is a channel all the way down the center of the boat (lowest part of boat) for water to drain. Most boats will just naturally be lower at the stern then anywhere else because of motor, batteries, design, people, etc.. Put your bilge pump, might as well get an automatic one, right at the back and run the hose overboard or a thru hull fitting near the top of the hull. Run the power with a fuse and switch. Trying to build a true self bailing boat would be quite hard, IMO. Easier to just go buy a boston whaler. Tim [/QUOTE]
