I thought it was required that boats under a certain length had to have level flotation.
I would have to go after the boat mfg. if my boat went to the bottom.
The Skeeter was a Wrangler model with a 150 V6 motor a full tank of fuel and 3 batterys all in the rear. The opening for the motor cables in the splash well was under water, so there was no doubt the boat was as full of water it could get. Turned the bilge pump on and it was floating again.
