Yup the ranger wont hardly sink at all,can blow it up and the pieces would float,one of the tricks at kerr lake is to take out the plug and go under the grassy creek bridge when the water is up,and replace back in when on the other side sort of submerging the boat like a sub,only thing at that time that is up is the main deck and consoles.Yet still supports two anglers,that ranger did get down pat.Removal of the windshields is also necessary,along with quiet water no waves and a steel nerve,as the concrete bottom of this bridge is very close,scraped my nose a few times.
