Like having a bilge pump, and having a bilge pump that will do the work are two different questions.
But you knew that.

I traveled in a 20 foot aluminum open boat with 6 meter waves crashing over the side for 3 hours with 2 bilge pumps going flat out for the whole trip home, the pumps were able to remove close to the same amount of water as was coming over the side even though, when we finally got home there was probably 50 gallons of water still being pumped out of the boat it didn't sink.

dammit... the question is not about the bilge pump... its LIKE having the pressure of a bilge pump!

But what about the splashes that don't make it out of the boat??? Theres no way that ALL the water gets out of the boat! Eventually all the little drops that don't make it out will sink the boat!!!
Wonder how heavy you're typical flat bottom boat would have to weigh to force the water out and over the hull... Someone smarter than me figure it out.

If you are traveling backwards at 101% the speed of light, are you moving forward at 2997924.58 meters per second?

I wonder what the boats characteristics would have to be?

If you turn your headlights on while driving faster than the speed of light,what will happen?will the light be going twice as fast, or will it kind of just bleed off the sides? kind of like water.

It's relative.

Neither was anything relating to a bilge pump!

I think if you're traveling at the speed of light, what your headlights are doing is the least of your worries.

You must come from another planet....it was used as an example......got it now....

The point was that if the water is pumped out in any way similar to the amount coming in it won't sink....

Very specific question... Mr. interplanetary traveler.
Your example, while illustrative, does not answer the question posed.
Do you get it now?

I don't generally argue with people that just don't get it but it was an EXAMPLE of water displacement......put down the joint and get over it. Go to google and type in example....its not that hard.......did i type it slow enough for you.....

Move on mate ....your the only one not getting it....

Are you at warp, or have you entered hyperspace?

if you poke a hole in a boat and the water squirts over the side, will it sink?

I don't think I fully understand the question...
Is the hole poked in the bottom of the boat? And you're asking, if the water comes up through the hole, will the boat still float or sink?

He's asking if the hole was poked in the bottom of the boat, and that water had enough pressure to be shot outside the boat, would it sink....
Don't ruin it with the obvious, Soi

I had my explanation typed up, but I deleted it so as not to ruin the fun for everyone else. I'll just state my conclusion. And this should leave many of you scratching your heads...

The boat sinks. And believe it or not, the way the problem is stated, it sinks even if there wasn't a hole.

I think if the boat is shallow and weighted down enough, and the hole is close enough to the side for it to make it's way into the lake, it will float for some time.

but water never all leaves in a stream, some is cast off and lands on the inside of the boat.

after time it should sink.

cause eventually it'll rot or rust and sink?
