We recently lived in Thorne Bay (SE) where it rains three times as much as Seattle and it rains more than that in Ketchikan.

Most in Thorne Bay use aluminum skiffs w sufficient flotation so they don't sink filled w rainwater. Even w an engine clamped on but most have bilge pumps ... until the battery goes south.
