Here is the 27 min video of the recovery of the boat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OrmgjJMHtI
So we believe it was a bilge pump failure and combination of the battery dying.
We just put a new transmission in it and we have it running. But now we want to be able to prevent it from ever having this problem again.
So this is where we need help!!
What is the best battery and bilge pump solution? We would like to leave the boat in the water up too two weeks at a time. Without the battery's dieing on us and the pumps stop working.
Thanks in advance

Was it moored without a cover during very heavy rain?
It seems like it would take a lifetime for the prop shaft to left enough water in to sink the boat. When you tested it was it a steady stream of water? That doesn't seem right ether.
