No No, not true. Self bailing cock pit and most definitely a bilge on that boat. Where do you think the gas tanks are?
El wrongo mighty one. Bilge is defined as an enclosed portion of a boat. It must be accessible from a hatch and able to ventilate from a fan and have a pump.
I’ve owned 2 Bertha s and a Carolina whaler. Self draining open transoms are not bilges.
