I don't think that C&C 40 _without_ a keel would sink all that fast.

Well a 2'X8' hole in the bottom of most boats would sink them in a
matter of a few seconds. The C&C 40 has no type of foam floatation,
ect. I think it would go down like a rock. Not a bad looking boat, but
IMO a Pearson 40 is a better boat if you are looking for that type of
boat.
