Exactly what does "built-in floatation" mean. I had always thought that statement meant that the boat gunnels would be above the surface. It does not. The boat was floating, but it was submerged. Let me reemphasize, it did not sink to the bottom, it floated just below the surface. Personally, I consider that misleading, but I am sure the manufacturer does not. It boils down to interruptation. One possible (cheap) solution would be to add 4 tie-downs in the bow and stern to tie in float bags. But how do we (the user segment) get them (the manufacturers)to do that?
