It's funny: No matter how many times I've wondered how fast my boat would
fill up with water, I've never removed the drain plug while fishing a mile
from shore. I really want to, but I can't bring myself to do it.


Oh go ahead! Remove that plug. See how it feels and how much water
comes in through that little hole. See how much time you would have.
But be on your trailer or at the dock and with good pumps - and ready
to put the plug back in.

Huh?

I did this once on my Ranger. Didn't notice it until I was walking
down the ramp to the boat and watched the bilge pump spray water into
another boat a the ramp.

Needless to say, the other guy was somewhat annoyed. :)
