Take it from someone who has swamped a 17 ft boat with no scuppers...you never mean it to happen but shit gets real if it does and the bilge pump is no use..no fun when everyone is grabbing any bucket or container and bailing like a madman to save the boat before it reachs the point of no return... it wouldn't have even got to that point if it was a sealed deck with scuppers...and yeah it was my stupidity that caused the situation...
So yeah I like the safety of them except for the wet deck situation where a little sump would good in conjunction with the scuppers..
Steve I couldn't buy a boat off that guy...as Milzee says he is a bit of a flog....lol....I would be outta there within 2 minutes of listening to that overbearing voice but the reviews are Ok and he does show the good and bad points ...
Dirtyfuzz the OMM do look like a very nice boat but I think you made the right choice... your newly repowered cat is a ripper...
