Water Line

[msbhammer]

Am I missing something. ?? Been looking at alot of teh pictures of everyones baots and all and seen one boat with the hull painted. Now what i dont understand stand is that the scupper deck drain is below the waterline on the hull. This is the same as mine. Wont water come in and sink the boat ????
I was debating to just run the floor deck drains straightinto the bilge area, so whenever I get water on the deck, she will drain there, but then I would have to get the through the hole drains patched and that means more $$$$$$ I would prefer to leave them, but just dont understand the way its set up. To me it looks like sea water will enter the boat and sink me.
Please de-confuse me on this topic.
