In the Mythbusters episode that was mentioned they found that .50 cal
round pretty much disintegrated into nothing when shot into the water.
 That .50 cal, based on that data, may not be able to put a hole in
the boat very much below the water line (a few inches at most).

Thought I'd bet you would hardly care since the M2 is likely to punch
holes in everything else above the water line without much problem.
