Buying a boat withougt flotation, is like buying an aeroplane with no

After a certain size and weight positive flotation becomes virtually
impossible, typically in the low to mid 20 ft range depending on power
options and construction.

Yeah, I can't imagine trying to put flotation in my friends tug. There
would be no room for anything else I guess I always forget to
qualify my posts as from a 20 foot boaters point of view. The
explanation of your vessel's ability to preserve itself, and Harrys
explanation of his seem logical for the type of vessels, and intended
use from what I can see, again with the limited pov.
