Who told you that BS?
Which part do you deem BS? That Pursuit is a nice boat or that it is not unsinkable or that it is not an option with small children?
Regardless - it is not an option for me and as the buyer in this case as it pertains to this thread that is all that matters.
With all due respect to you, the buyer. I feel that the only intelligent decision to make for yourself and your family would include your preferences and absolutes. The decision you make is your own and I respect that. I also acknowledge that the "events" that cause rapid descent or "sinking" are typically a by product of ignorance or unsafe practices. For instance, a through hull failing offshore (why would you have the wife and two small children offshore?), or maybe a collision, they cause boats to sink all the time, right? What about a power failure in a stiff head/ quarter sea? That would cause you to flip,the boat floats and so do you...BUT you might float in a different direction. There are a few reasons for this response, the most important being that you cannot compare a Volvo with side curtain air-bags to an "unsinkable boat"...Next, Cracker Larry is an asset in my opinion! His word is sage, when he speaks on a matter, you may want to inquire as to what he has to say!
Best of luck to you in your search and please forgive my grammar. I will try to attach a link of my nieces on my Pursuit 2270CC.
