I am the guy that talks to the wind and has no pump, But as willy says I like to live by the seat of my pants!!

Yes you should have a pump!! There is one thing I will add to the above.
Go with a good pump and when installed make sure its a couple inches from the bottom of the boat.
Thats why I don't have one, I use to put on the floor and it sucked up crap which jammed the pump and burned them out!
