boat sunk...why? should i sell?

In a 20 the only way for water to enter the bildge is at the scuppers if they are leaking inside - rain should not be able to sink it thay should drain fine. The other is the access panel in the splashwell, most have some sort of a splashwell to keep water out of the boat,like the old one pictured, but if that isn't sealed good and leaks you will get some but again not that much.

As mentioned I bet most get hung under a dock, pumps will run along time on a battery if its just getting a little water in it. Pump failure when getting a little in it will finally do it too - I have 2 also.

My Sceptre sunk when the marina put in without the plug, just got the motors fired up quick and ran few new wires to the stern area and it was fine, not that much wire in them and the harness is pretty well sealed up too. Thier insurance covered it nicely so we did get to do some extra stuff
