446f... how much pressure would it require for that to have liquid water seas?

446 F is exactly 230 C ( Hmmm ) so consulting the PV diagram for water, a liquid vapor interface at that temperature would require a pressure of about 4 MPa. Noting that 100 C requires 0.1 MPa, we see that this is about 40 atmospheres. Then at 33 feet per atmosphere, that's 1320 feet of ocean depth on earth.
