Honestly, I have gone many all day trips and never pulled them. If I don't have them in, I too will have an inch or so of seawater on the aft deck.
That is what mine used to do nearly empty on fuel (<10 gals. approx.). I moved the battery under the console and added another to make it dual. I put them under the seat hatch in the console. Then I put a big old length of anchor chain in the locker under my anchor line. It's not bad at all, no worse than acceptible or the other couple 20's I go on from time to time and both have a light @400 6 cyl. It can be a PITA with almost any smaller boat that used thru bottom scuppers especially but how else would baby crabs climb in and chill out. It's fine because next year I am gonna put a schraeder valve on my bracket and fill it with 50lbs. of helium...j/k
