    I would think that the boat at least would float.

    Sinkholes seem to be a pretty common problem over on the west coast of Florida, all around the Tampa area.

    There are some small ones here in St Pete, I have seen them in the streets. But so far, no huge ones that I know of; that could change in a minute though.
    The ground here is unstable and undermined by water.

    The whole STATE is nothing but a giant sandbar.
    Sorry, I know we have a bunch of Floridians, but a fact is a fact.

    BTW, its growing.

    If it was trailered, it would have the drain plug out to drain the rain water...

    Yeah, it is a problem, and with no good answer. When I lived in West Virginia it was floods, down here it is sinkholes and hurricanes.
    Something else that I have noticed, all of the stupid people from NY, came here to vegetate: and it is one potential calamity after the other.
