Well, then, I suggest you don't buy one.

Does it have full flotation?

There was an incident on Long Island Sound within the last year or two
where a boat with a similar transom got caught stern-to to a breaking
wave.

It glubbed in less than a minute due to lack of flotation.



All Parkers are foam-filled under the deck.
As they are linerless boats, there's no foam in the hullsides. But
there's enough foam injected to keep the boat afloat.

Does your Grand Banks have full floatation? I mean, if you strike a log
or a reef and put a nice-sized hole in that hull, is there enough
flotation in the boat so that it stays afloat? How about if you broach
and take a few tons of water over the side, or if you suffer a
knockdown? Got enough flotation built into that boat to keep it floating
level and safe until help arrives?
