Yes, but if you DO get badly holed in a steel boat, wouldn't you have less
time to get out/off than with a lighter hull - i.e. wouldn't a steel hull
sink faster? Or is my logic off?

>>If you hit a rock or coral barrier (securely, some day will occur) or a
simple hard stucked in sand, a wooden and glass boat can suffer severe
damage and can sink easily. The steel boat very few times can be seriously
damaged. You need to repair it, but ... float!
