If it were my boat, I wouldn't want to drain it into the bilge. Most of the boats I have seen sink have been due to improper sealing of the deck. Sea Crafts do have a history of sinking, however usually from bad thru-hulls. Personally I like to minimize the amount of water in the bilge. I usually leave my deck drain plugs open, then put rubber stoppers in when I am using the boat.
