I pulled the plug on my 16 to get some rainwater out and ran 3 miles on plane to go out for dinner. Never remembered to replace the plug. Boat was beached at restaurant. Got lots more rain while we ate. Five of us boarded and were ankle deep in what I assumed was all the new rain water. Went to pull the plug and realized it was already on the console.

A company that had several rental Whaler about the same size would leave their boats in the water with plugs out during bad storms. They were not at risk of blowing about on land, and because they sat lower in the water were less likely to bang around in the slips. The area was not subjected to any surf like conditions.
