Buy a Whaler. I can pull the drain plug on either Whaler, and the below
deck bilge areas fills with a little bit of water, but the boat keeps
floating and the water never reaches the above-deck areas.

Ask me how I know. ;-)

That did not surprise me. It is amazing how many people forget the put
the drain plugs in the boat when launching. At a fairly busy public dock,
one summer I saw two people who forgot to put the plugs in. After
realizing the boat was taking on water, in their confusion they were not
able to seat the plug from inside the boat. The boats were taking on
water so fast, they beached the boat.

If they had not been loading the boat at the dock, they probably would not
have noticed the problem till they were in the middle of the lake.
