Question Can A Big Wave Really Sink A Boat That Easlily?

Quote: The Eagle Tribune - September 02, 2007 12:00 am
“James Larsen's Cobalt Bowrider took on a big wave around 11:25 a.m., Marine Patrol Lt. Tim Dunleavy said. The eight people aboard donned their life jackets and jumped into the lake as the boat quickly filled with water and started to sink, Dunleavy said.”
We’ve had really big waves crash over our bow on big chop days and the water empties into the drain hole without a problem, of course we do get mighty wet. Were we really in jeopardy of sinking and just oblivious to the danger?

I sure hope the search for the boat will result in finding this elusive bugger. Best of luck to Diver1111 and the recovery crew, we’re rooting for you!
