How does a boat sink in 15 minutes?

Two men rescued after boat sinks in Lake Ontario | CP24.com

It's a powerboat, so maybe it just broke in half. But still, a 34 foot boat in fairly benign conditions. This was a few miles from my house. I know it's nt a sailboat, but there may be something to be learned.

Water coming into the boat exceeded the buoyancy of the boat...?

[deltaten]

Chopped in half? Stove in hard? Turn turtle? Drove deep?
Any number of ways it coulda gone.

Insurance...?

Too much beer loaded on!

How large are the seawater intake ports on a boat that size?

I'm thinking of a hose popping off a 2" intake and maybe a non working bilge pump.

Seems like that wouldn't take long.

15 minutes is a lot longer than you think.
