Contact the surf rescue guys at the St. Johns, Florida rescue
department...the ones who yank idiots out of the inlets. They have or
had a Carolina skiff with large openings cut in the sides to pull aboard
fatigued swimmers. I don't recall that boat ever swamping or turning
turtle. Might be the fire department that has jurisdiction...


Those DLX models are wide beam and very stable. Probably less prone
to capsize than v-hulls.
