[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 514074, member: 21536"] Interesting. So a fully afloat 1,500# boat is already displacing 1,500 pounds or about 24 cubic feet of water. As the boat sinks, each cubic foot of additional volume is going to weigh less than an additional cubic foot of water. Hence, a lot less floatation is needed to keep the neutral buoyancy. I think.
