[QUOTE="waterant, post: 515729, member: 34810"] Good questions. I was so happy my little tin can did not instantly sink, I did not make too many pictures or videos for a more scientific data collection. Next time I'll do much more testing and will try standing on one of the floats. > When the boat is at rest, does the bottom of the collar sit right on the waterline? If I remember correctly, it was above the water in the empty boat and the rear feet or two was an inch or so under water when my fat ass dropped into the back seat. > Is it above water when up on plane? I'm pretty sure most of the float was above the water because 15 knots felt pretty smooth. I would probably notice if it was dragging. I'll check next time. [/QUOTE]
