Is that one of those low transoms I have been hearing about?


BTW, since he was underway I am guessing he didn't know he was sinking
until he stopped (plugs out?)

I think I would have made a run for the beach that looks a mile or two
away. That boat probably still does 30, full of water. You would just
have to do it and not dawdle.




Looks like one of those wonderful "eurotransom" boats to me. If it is,
that would be the worst of all worlds, transom-wise.

I believe the boat sank because the operator forgot to put in the
transom drain plug.

Maybe a two piece hull boat with a full liner. There's lots of hollow
spaces in some of them thar designs for water.
