If the boat has a small hole in it and is equipped with a bilge pump you may never have any problems just run the bilge pump. If the pump can keep up with the amount of water coming in then you wont sink. Running your bilge pump all the time is hard on the pump though and may eventually go out. The best way to fix this is to go to a marine store and buy a fiberglass repair kit. Good luck!

It depends where the hole is, and whether the boat is in the water or not, and how deep the water is.
You could have a huge hole in the bottom of the boat, but if the boat is on a trailer on dry land it won't sink.

This is a highly technical question needing many variables to be sorted. Are we talking toy boats? or Ocean Liners? Is the boat in the water? Where is the hole, Are you losing your marbles? Either grow up, or perhaps you have already grown old enough to be living full time with the faries. Buy a boat, Knock a hole in the hull, and give it a try. Don't forget to wear your wellies... Good Luck. By the way, I have a boat for sale and would cheerfully knock a hole in it for you, after you have paid me........

If it is a Ranger a hole won't sink it. Grab a Ranger Boat catalog and there is usually a picture of a Ranger with a dozen holes cut into it. There is a foot of water in the boat, and two anglers still fishing out of it. They WON'T sink!

yes or No
If the hole is below the water line, or below the level which the level of water outside the boat reaches during evolutions or manoevers the boat will eventually sink.
If however the hole is above the water line or water level at all times the boat will sink when it fills with rain water.
If however the hole is monitored and the resulting water ingress managed the boat will not sink, during the period during which the monitoring and management operatiions are conducted.
If however the boat is not at any tme floating it will not sink.

If you buy a boat with a hole in it, you deserve to sink.

As long as it's Donnie Bakers boat it would be OK because he never uses it. It just sits on the trailer out of gas so it won't even be in the water....and the only hole is the bilge hole to drain it anyway

A boat is just a hole in the water surrounded by fiberglass, which you dump money into anyway...

If the hole is below the water line. Pending on how big the hole
is, Depens on how fast you will sink.

I would imagine so. Unless you plan on repairing the hole before sailing the boat.
