I believe the biggest danger in being close to a sinking boat is that you might get caught in a line that might be floating until the boat sinks.

Still the best advise is always to stay with a boat until it disappears under the water. Many boats will still float when completely submerged. Many people have died leaving boats in liferafts and yet the boat never sank.
