Default How about....

Is it possible that, based on everything we have read here, that what occured is this: The boat was fine until it got into a chop in the broads, at that point the coolant hose worked itself loosed (as it may not have been properly attached...I recall the poster who wrote about the "belt recall" on certain Cobalts, and he mentioned that the coolant hose had to be removed to get at the belt). So the boat was taking on water, without anyone knowing it, as they were under power. The captain realized there was a problem, and stopped. At that point (remembering the lake was "rough" that day) the stern was much too heavy, and as a result, sitting very low. A swell came over the stern, and that was the end. With all the resulting weight it was quickly submerged...and see ya later bye....
Have I missed something?
