I can't believe there is no access to the bottom? Why have a plug if thats the case??

As someone who has taken a wave that filled the boat to the gunnel's I will always have a pump now!

All water on deck should go out if you can get moving, but if dead in the water how will it go out?? And as long as it is in the boat it will be leaking to the bottom of the hull if not sealed.
Is it foam filled? Call the Mf and see what they have to say.
