[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 419372, member: 7376"] Have fished the White River in Arkansas quite a bit. Same deal. You can visibly see water condensing on the inside of the hull, basically any part of the hull that is at or below the water line. The conditions are almost always "right" for this to happen. Water temp in the 50's. Air temp in the 90's and 100's, with a dewpoint in the upper 70's and low 80's. Yes, it sweats inside the boat. After an 8 hour trip, I usually get close to a couple gallons out of the bilge, mostly condensation with a little bit of fish drip if we catch anything. When the dewpoint is that high, it doesn't take much cooler water to make the boat sweat. [/QUOTE]
