Not sure if I am posting this in the right place but I need help.i bought a 2018 suntracker 24 ft fishing barge 2 weeks ago ,First time I used it overheated over 4000 rpm, bass pro replaced water pump . This weekend I opened her up for a few min and notice a 2 ft round budge of water under the flooring of one of the fishing seats . Can anyone tell what is the cause .It has a 150 HP mercury on it ???

Describe the "budge". Were you looking under the boat or did it actually push the floor up?

Budge sounds like a typo for bulge, and it's likely there as a sign that the boat is due for a trip back to Bass Pro to figure out where the water is coming from and get it fixed.

Sounds like water is coming up through the floor, Possibly a small gap between sheets of wood.
Also, is the engine broke in yet?

I am sure they deal with this all the time, take it back and have it fixed, could be a redeck if the wood is split.

This is a brand new boat, I would make sure everything is right
