Is there a Cat 3 approach to get you in?
I have an Edgewater 140cc powered by a 50 hp Merc two smoke.
I can vouch for its self bailing capability.
While I was keeping the boat in FL I tested the "unsinkable" attribute.
With my wife and three kids hanging on, I intentionally put the bow into a 6' wake left from a dinner cruise boat.
The entire hull was floaded, up to the gunnels, with 85* water.
In a matter of ten minutes the water had completely drained out and we were sitting high and well, not so dry.
On my boat the center console is glassed in as an integral part of the deck liner. No water infiltrated the console.
With some boats, you must be careful not to break the hull in a rough sea. With the Edgewater and Whalers, the humans will break first!
