Are our Aquasports really unsinkable?

[Ben87]

After reading the great brochures that JimCT (Thanks JimCT) puts up, it mentioned that the Aquasport is unsinkable, is this true?, and if it is, what makes it so?  Is it the foam in the stringers?  

I never knew that these boats were considered unsinkable so I'm a bit surprised.

I would not bet my life on it.

Is any boat really unsinkable     Better yet, the foam may float but would we   [/i]

[JimCt]

Older boat with soggy foam will sink like a stone.

 Not a bad plan to weigh the boat each year in the fall.  Compare original build weight spec. to what you have now minus fuel, motor & equipment. Weighing each year will establish the trend-line.

The only reason I ask is because in the AS ad it mentioned that the boats were "unsinkable."  Perhaps when the boat was new and before the foam maybe got wet?

[JimCt]

Correct.

Judging from the fact that I know of at least 2 Aquasports that were "resurrected" from the bottom as salvage and rebuilt - I would say the boats are not - for sure - unsinkable.  Gravity is relentless.  Along with fungus, rot, rust, age, and taxation.  

See ya on (and hopefully not under) the water!!
