Such situations don't typically arise on a nice sunny day! Oh sure, if you have a seacock unexpectedly fail (or you hit something really big and submerged that severely holes you) and you're filling up with water in decent weather I'm sure they're great. yards But in that condition so is a tender; just launch it and step up, and yards further, you can mitigate some of those risks with emergency bilge yards pickups off the main engines - you might be able to keep from going down in such a situation. The 406 EPIRB should get you rescued in a reasonable amount of time; the issue is staying alive long enough for that to happen if the boat goes out from under you. The value of a raft, as I see it, is in the real snot when you get in trouble due to structural or mechanical failure (e.g. engines out in a blow.) Why? Because in such a situation you need its capsize resistance (a survival bag with water, watermaker, tarp, etc can be at hand in any event.) And it's there that I question their utility right up front.
