So it sounds like there are a lot of different schools of thought about this....I attached a pic with a yellow line showing fore and aft where the water gathers.....there was a storm and even though the boat was under cover possibly water blew onto the boat and mades its way down.....thanks for all the input

nope only one school of thought.... just different scenarios..... is lake water leaking in? if so then you have a problem..... Is rain water LEAKING into the bilge when it is supposed to drain overboard? that would be a problem.... does rain water drain into the bilge by design?...... that's a less than ideal design but not abnormal.... you need to find out WHERE the water is coming from to know anything useful.

Update----Made it out to boat yesterday I dried it all out three days ago and it is was still dry.....took it out on the water ran it up on plane and still no new water.....so ???? maybe the storm blew some water in? or maybe one of the drains is plugged as somone has mentioned? will be doing some more checking but, best as I can tell there is no leakage from the hull which is GOOD....Thank You for the thoughts and ideas....

I'd call it fixed. That sort of thing happens all the time with boats; they are mysterious creatures that you love despite their being expensive and unpredictable. Hence the custom of referring to them as female.
