Default Re: Seacraft sinking question

I disagree about the BW ride. Once the foam between the liner and hull wicks up enough water, they ride like a ship, unfortnately, they become a displacement hull vs a planing hull. No design is perfect, although I believe the SeaCraft was pretty good at what it's designed to do. Most boats that have tops on them will turtle and float quite a while before they sink. With EPIRBS and the other safety gear that is available, the pitch BW makes isn't quite as compelling as it used to be.
