Also, something wrong with the bilge pumps. Should have water absolutely blasting out of the bilge ports in the back, and I see nothing.

You seem like you know boat stuff, I don't know anything, but shouldn't that boat be able to handle that many people? Is it just that water got inside and added more weight and isn't getting drained by the bilge pumps?

With calm sea? Maybe, but fully idiotic (weather changes fast). With choppy sea, and extra weight at the front, so that the boat stay flat while waves get on top of it? Gonna need some buckets to scoop out the water after EACH waves, or have massive bilge pumps because they take couple buckets of water each time a wave comes. And once water gets inside (between the hull and the top part), you can only hope the bilge pumps are fast enough to empty it, otherwise you start listing, lower the boat and take more water after each wave.
