21 ft seems a little small unless it is filled with foam and floats like a cork.

Schnitt Show just said boat can’t sink - filled with foam. Looks small for big football players to fish in.

Yes, it was an Everglade boat, apparently filled with foam and unsinkable

Things can happen when you’re on the water. I heard it WAS a foam-filled fiberglass hull and did not sink. But still, a 21 foot boat seems small in 8 foot seas.
I wonder why they didn’t come in when it started to get rough. Engine trouble? Were they lost?
I guess they thought anchoring would prevent them from getting blown out to sea, but it might have contributed to the capsize.
What temp is the Gulf this time of year?

From the website....
http://www.evergladescenterconsoles.com/?id=210cc The Everglades 210cc offers a spacious 80 sq. ft. cockpit to accommodate up to 13 people for a fun and safe family experience on the water.
Like all Everglades boats, the 210cc uses the patented RAMCAP construction process to create an unsinkable, roomy family fishing boat.

Boston Whaler... but even a 21 footer would be real rough way offshore.

Can you imagine the weight in that little tiny boat? Not only that, but the kind of body mass that foot ball players have does not float well. They probably couldn’t even tread water very easily. I wonder if they had life jackets.

21 feet out in the open ocean? May not have been the wisest decision ever made, hopefully it won’t be fatal decision for any of them.
To: Paladin2
It’s filled with foam and floats like a cork. It’s reportedly nearly unsinkable.
