Re: Seacrafts sink?
I had an old timer OMC mechanic tell me that last summer too - he also said it was one of the best riding, toughest boats built.Here's how he described it in a nutshell.The boat is a little narrow in the beam and heavy in the stern, you get a couple big guys in the stern and sink the scuppers, it gets to the point where there's not enough bouyancy to hold up the guys and the water comin in and down she goes.Now, I don't know if it's completely true - or what kind of transom these boats had - but I have heard this rumor from others too.I'll tell one thing,I have to do something to seal my livewell. I have the big high splashwell with the livewell in it.When the waves enter the splashwell, it eventually fills up the live well - and now I got a couple hundred pounds sittin in the transom that I don't need, and my transom gets even lower - so I got to work on that this week.
