# §25.755. Hulls.

- (a) Each hull must have enough watertight compartments so that, with any two adjacent compartments flooded, the buoyancy of the hull and auxiliary floats (and wheel tires, if used) provides a margin of positive stability great enough to minimize the probability of capsizing in rough, fresh water.
- (b) Bulkheads with watertight doors may be used for communication between compartments.
