When your rubrail sits at the water line, I would think it fairly easy to sink!

Re: Offshore Boat Sinks off Catalina Island
The boat in question was a 38' Anniversary Fountain. My friend Tim (He sold the 42' fountain "Ohio Steel" recently) bought the boat new from DSM a few years ago and sold it a while ago. I think he said he was told by someone at Pfaff that a drive did break causing water to get in and partially sink the boat. From what I understand, the guy just bought the boat.

....some bad ass Pfaff motors, but of course he said it only had HP500's, so the insurance is not covering anything. [QUOTE]
That's gonna hurt when all is said and done!!
