I'm wondering if it got wet from the stern area and was working it's way foward,guess i'll find out after i drill a few holes further foward.
That's what I think may have happened with my boat. When I pulled the tank, the coffin area was very dry and the openings for the fuel fill and vent hoses were foamed in tight. When I opened the transom up, the inside skin was open along the port side stringer and the bottom of the hull, and I'm wondering if water has ponded in the low spot of the stringer encasement. Bottom of the hull looks good from the outside, but I get a much different noise when I tap on that panel (fore and aft) than I do when I tap on any of the other panels.
