Glad you made it back okay and are safe and sound. I too have a Stealth (2011 Stealth 14) and have had issues with taking on water. In my situation I wasn't even in the ocean per se... as I lived back east and was fishing the protected waters of the Long Island Sound (so no nasty beach launches or too bad of chop)... yet 6 hours on the water and I had nearly 2 gallons in my hull.

Just wondering how you took on so much water in your Stealth is all. Are you having issues with leaking hatches like I suspect I am?

I just had Andy at OEX replace my two side hatches through Malibu under warranty... have not had the boat back in the water yet so I don't know if it was a total fix yet or not.

Nice to see you get back out and nail the YT... good job!
