You could be rotting from under platform area, from parking her bow down on a hill.... Not a pro like some of the other gents on here Just from my own personal experience with on of my other hulls I have been tinkering with for Quite sometime... I let on sit for a while TOTally the wrong way.

got any limber holes in the center stringer that someone forgot to seal up? what about the factory battery tray/pad?

the shelf the fuel tank sits on has been known to donate some wood to the bilge as well. :rolleyes:
