Well a 2'X8' hole in the bottom of most boats would sink them in a

IMO a Pearson 40 is a better boat if you are looking for that type of
boat.

A 2' x 8' hole! Were did you get that from?

The fin keel on a C&C 40 is approx 8' long and 1.5' wide. when the C&C
hits something it rips the hole thing off starting at the smile
working aft. Add 6" on each side of the thin hull that gets ripped of
with it. Just a guesstimate.
