I have a question! Trying to determin if this boat has an automatic blige, the previous owner says he does not know becuase he never kept it in the water and it never took on water. My feind and i filled up the engine compartment and nothing ever kicked on. I would like a boat this size would have to have one. thank!!

It should have an automatic bilge. However sometimes the float switches get a little gunked up. You can do a search on here for bilge pump and probably see some photos or descriptions on how to test it. Mine didn't work automatically until I got down and manually activated the float switch about 30 times to clear all the grime off the contacts. If the bilge doesn't automatically come on when you raise the small float switch, you should probably replace it. It's a very simple thing to replace, and extremely important if you're planning on keeping it in the water!
