Bitsamonkey,

Would you say all the 20 SeaCrafts are equally as likely to sink because of the design of the selfbailing cockpit or are some models worse than others?

I'm looking at the 20' Seafari and was wondering how they compare to the center consoles? How does a Seafari I/O compare to the outboard model?
My Seafari has three (3) bilge pumps. One 800 gph mounted right at the transom as low as possible. One 1500 gph mounted three inches higher nearby, and one 1500 gph mounted forward beneath the cabin sole. All automatic, all also seperately manually switched and wired. And when I keep it in the water for a few days, I still get up in the night and check on it.
