[Skools Out]

The water was really rough there yesterday with 2 to 3 ft chop and water temp at 52* air temp at 34* snowing with winds @ 35 to 40 mph and wind chills at 20*. It was not a good day to be out there in any vessel. I looked at a Carolina Classic 28 at the boat show and it didn't have a plug hole so that's not likely a cause for the sinking. I'd say it would be a loose or faulty prop output shaft seal at the hull. It may have been a rutter shaft seal at the hull or a live well thru hull water pick up wasing tight or pipe clamp on the fill lines.
