I expect Whalers with below deck fuel tanks and especially the 160 Dauntless will take on a lot of water below decks and consequently flood the aft deck much more deeply than say a Montauk or Sport model. I would be surprised if the Dauntless didn't have water around the console particularly if the fuel tank was near full and one or more people were on the RPS.

It may be fun to try in fresh water but I'd give the test a pass in sea water due to the below decks wiring and hose clamps.
