Hi Potters,
I am examining what kind of cockpit I should build into my own
pocket-cruiser (she is similar boat than P15). I find interesting
picture from web. You can find it here:

I can not understand how boat can float so high? As far I understand the
boat is not even full of water (in the photo). Look at the photo. It
would be "easy" to put more water into cockpit and after that cockpit
floor would be so low that drain holes will not work (because they would
be under waterline).

Have I understand everything right?

Your comments would be very wellcome!

Regards,
Oskari
