Aluminum boats have flotation under the seats. They will not sink. Sink means go to the bottom. If a boat is floating, then it has not sunk.
It is very difficult, almost impossible, to get anything to stay suspended below the surface of the water. If you wait a little it will go to the bottom or the surface.
If you had an aluminum boat that would sink below the surface but not go to the bottom, you should have sold it to the Navy.
I checked Websters. Sink = "go to the bottom". You should look up swamped, that is the word you are looking for.
