ive tried all the research I could on the hull design of these boats, since ive bought it ive got water coming from inside the hull. im curious as to if anyone knows if the entire hull is filled with foam or if the y put in channels of foam spaced out?, also curious as if there are any voids? in the summer I had the trailer leaned forward allowing the water to drain out of the crack in the keel, it would stop after about a half gallon or so, but a couple days go by and there is more,, I had sanded the boat and sealed the crack and any holes after months of letting water out every week or so, and after 2 months of sitting all sealed up I popped one hole open and it seemed that the hull was at least halfway filled with water!!, it seems like rain water is getting in somewhere although ive sealed most holes topside, I just dont think there could be that much water trapped in the foam, maybe im wrong, I live in the north east and worrying about freezing temps so ive left that hole open to allow water out. im not sure where to go from here. I haven't weighed the boat yet, but plan to do so, also im considering cutting a hole on the topside deck to install an access hatch into the hull/foam area maybe put a bilge pump in there if necessary, any recommendations? or advice? I still have some holes I can seal topside such as under the consoles, seats, thats really all thats left . thanks for any help
