Default The Magic Boat!

Not enough information to caculate volume. One would
need to know the foot well dimensions so they could
be added to the coaming/cockpit dimensions to the top
of the footwell which are 52 cubic feet. Your cockpit is much
bigger than I thought and I'd be very surprised if two two-inch
drains could empty the lot in 68 seconds. It would take more
like four minutes.

Approximate dimensions are 7 feet long by 5 ft wide with a foot and a half
wide cockpit seats running full length. Depth from cockpit seats to sole is
about 24 inches and add another 8 inches to the coamings. Add in a shelf at
the companionway that is 10 inches wide, spans the seats and forms the fore
end of the cockpit footwell.

It drains dry in 68 seconds. Double 2" hoses and a 6" head to the W/L. A
full cockpit of water displaces the stern to 2 inches above the W/L...

Can you figure out the volume?
