Author	Topic:   Swamp capacity!
KKO	posted 03-29-2006 10:13 AM ET (US)         I have been very curious on the comparison between other so called "unsinkable boats". My best friend has always wanted a cape horn. He swares that they are unsinkable. What does that mean in regards to the Cape Horn. I know that the hull is not completely foam filled as the Whaler is. The Cape Horn along with others such as the Key West has foam filled parts such as stringers and transoms. Alright here is the meet and potatoes to my inquiry. Will these so called "unsinkable boats" float if cut in half? Will they float when filled to Swamp Capacity?
