Provided there were adequate limber holes and drain channels of course.FWIW on my little 12' skiff I keep at my docks for my girls, I have a bucket in the boat, as a bucket is quite a handy feature on any small boat ... bailing, cutting up bait, collecting shells & drabs, or even as an emergency pee bucket, etc. With the small U7 sized battery and auto bilge pump on one side in the stern, before I leave the boat I fill the bucket and place it next to the battery box. This makes the boat a little heavy on that side, and at the stern, but it forces all the rain water to collect where the bilge pump can pump it out the best. Also keeps the floor sections up to the bow totally dry. Works for me ...  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> !</blockquote>
