The only way for water to come in on my boat is betweem the engine hatch & the swim platform... thats where the engine gets air & the only place so it can not be sealed.... I have never had an issue with water in the bilge or swim platform.... if water rolled up on the back of the boat it would get in the bilge thriough that area.... perhaps that was what happened to Scott?

Don't start rumors about my boat being built with shortcuts Pat.... its information you don;t have & not a good way to make friends....

Pat we all know the Y2K'S that Rick built ( and all the Superboats Rick built ) are of the Best Quality Built SUPERBOATS !!! All the build photos right at our finger tips...................Ahhhhhhhhh the good old Days.:grinser010:

Ditto.:grinser010:

I never said your boat was built with shortcuts.
I was with Scott when he was taking on water in Block Island Sound. His bilge pump failed and he used my manual pump a few times to pump her out. Perhaps it was only water washing between the hatch and transom. You are right, I don't know for sure either way.
I do know your boat was built around the same time as Once Bitten and there was a problem found with that boat. Thought you may be interested in checking it out.
Sorry, if you take offence to my comments.

No problem Pat... I took the comment "We know Superbabi was built without shortcut..." the wrong way because it follwed commens about my boat... the internet! it happens.... Scott had told me the storey of the bilge pump when i asked what the heck is that thing, meaning the hand pump...lol.... anyway thanks for straightening me out... we're good...

It is my understanding that my boat is one of two built in 2004... the other was black & went to the 1000 Islands region...

The " ALL RISE " Was a 2004 also. She was in Toms River for a few years.

Easy guys, this isn't really a big deal...

it only happened once because I was backing up over a long distance many times over a long period (don't ask, it was a crazy day in NYC harbor). And when it did happen, the water came in through two drain holes that were designed to let water into the bilge. It was then pumped out by the bilge pump.

The fix was simple and works perfectly.

No need to get all worked up!

This is an easy group to fire up.
Just start talking about Superboat vs. Progression vs. Activator vs. Other.
Anytime the quality is questioned...:party-smiley-004:
