So am I correct in assuming if water did get in the hull it shouldnt get past the floor and the boat should stay afloat?

You boat is Fiberglass right ?? The bilge pump MUST be fitted ABOVE the sealed floor . The area between the floor & Hull must remain airtight !! I would strongly advise against cutting any holes ...... There should be a recessed section at the back of your floor towards the transom where you would mount the bilge pump ........ Isnt the area between the floor and hull the place where water may get in to be pumped out?

I just bought a Pongrass 18 foot half cabin and was curiuos if anyone knows if they come out with a bilge pump fitted. I cant get in under the floor to see and cant find any switch for one, but I would have thought a bilge pump in a boat that size would be mandatory, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Andrew
