On a really sporty run back from Bimini I was running with one and it was holding a **** ton of water in the back of the cockpit when it got back. The rear seat passengers were in like a bath and the seat cushions were floating. Opening the transom door might have helped but the waves were so big everyone was probably holding on for dear life instead.

My boat has floor scuppers and the floor is above the waterline. So if fish boxes and deck hatches have the rubber perimeter gasket in tact, most water coming over the gunnels on to the deck should drain with out relying on the bilge pumps.

My CC is a 2014 39 GT, was told me when I bought the boat in 2019 that there were not too many of the GT's made which is a Top Fish with a 10' beam. As they evolved with the populaity of CC's they started re-engineering of the probs you noted. I too have a simlar set up with scuppers in the floor and fish boxes. Thanks for that info. FWIW that is one pretty boat, I looked over a year for mine, always surprised to see a Cig CC that I have never a color combo like this. Beautiful boat !!!

Oh, I'm sure it wasn't "lost".

Paint reminds me of ASG's Top Gun from about 10 years years ago.

Yes "lost" was the wrong word but it's not everyday that u see a Cig CC in the middle of Indiana. I was afraid I would be accused of using a misleading title like a thread from a few days ago :hitfan:
