My bilge pump is very low flow. It keeps up fine for just keeping whatever happens to get into the hull, out. But if you have an emergency you will wish you had a higher flow rate in there.

The question about finding a boat.... I found mine on Ebay. But I have been using this site for a while now

You just punch in what your price range is, set the catagory to boats. And throw the keyword in. Then also tell it how far you are willing to drive from your zip code. It will find everything listed between you and there. It helps a ton. Thats where I found this boat that the OP ended up buying. I am not sure if he also found it himself, or just used the link I gave him.

Hope that helps you all.

Ill be switching to an auto bilge this spring as well. I dont sleep good when I know my boat takes on water and its in the lake over night.
