For how long will a Jetranger float without floats?

Has anyone on the forum ever put a B206 in the water without the benefit of deployable floats? How much time would one have to make an exit before it sank below the surface, assuming calm sea state? Any suggestions for a recommended ditching technique should the engine or drive train fail?
