My wife and I just bought our first boat - a 1992 Reinell 170 Mirage. We took it out for the first time. Had a little difficulty getting it in and out of the water, but did ok. Enjoyed it very much out on the water. Unfortunately, we do not have any owner's manual. To my problem that I hope someone can help with - we took on about 5 - 10 gallons of water (came out when we released the plug after we got out of the water). We were on the water for about 2 1/2 hours. Any ideas where the water can be coming in from? What can I check? Is there any seals that I need to look for? Any help is greatly appreciated!! We are really looking forward to many years of use and fun from this boat!
