Concur on bilge pump. In rough water, you always take on spray which adds a lot of weight in the bilges. So it's definately a safety feature - but it's also a convenience! With smaller boats, when you're skiing, you like the boat as light as possible to help get the skier up. If dripping wet skiers have been climbing in all day, a lot of water can accumulate. Bilge pump takes care of it with the flick of a switch. Or you can put in a float switch and let it take care of itself.
