Not you brother; Gary from Albany (GORT).
His boat was SB30 (Scott's) and was built before Once Bitten.
That boat took on a lot of water through and over the transome bouncing around in Block Island Sound on one of our trips.
We know Superbabi was built without shortcut...

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....

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.

I never said your boat was built with shortcuts.

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

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!
