There are no Boston Whaler models that I know of that are completely dry.....
The final version of the classic Outrage 18, the 19 Outrage II, is self-draining. The deck on the 19 Outrage II is raised higher (above the waterline) compared to the Outrage 18, so any water on deck runs out the scuppers in the transom.
I would not be overly worried about this issue with an Outrage 18. The best apparoach is to have a mooring cover that will shed water over the sides and also keep the deck clean.
