Cockpit drainage, lets try again

Are conditions off Cabo better or worse than
early summer in S. FL?

Summer weather off Cabo is much more stable than FL, and you don't
have the Gulf Stream currents to contend with. There's also the
possibility that the boat near Cabo was taking large risks also.

There are almost no self righting powerboats except those designed for
lifeboat or rescue duty. The weight and cost penalty would be too
much for most people.

On the issue of scuppers, almost all boats designed for rough water
usage have self bailing cockpits, scuppers of some sort, and at least
minimal protection from downflooding through the cabin access. Take a
close look at a Grady-White or something similar.

Take the sailboat, it's much better suited.
