What I did was to use a cork on the inside and one on the outside. Works for
me. I still get some water in the bilge, but suspect it from condensation..

I also drilled a 1/2" hole in the floor just in front of the center board
trunk that excepts a hose connected to my handy dandy hand pump. :-) I
don't believe in leaving water in the bilge due to the plywood cross
members.
