I was half serious on the 40 fat friends.. Lol There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon of water. Calculate how many inches of sinking you need. Boat length x boat width x inches of depth you need. That will give you total cubic inches. Divide that by 231 and that will give you gallons. Take gallons, multiply by 8.3 and that is the total weight you need to sink her enough to clear the header. And then it is dividing the total weight by how many fat friends you have (average weight of 250 lbs). and (and add in the big cooler of beer). Fill the bilge as much as you can or dare.

Replacing your window will be faaaar more work and cost way more than a few cases of beer.

Good luck!
