[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 479956, member: 22989"] Check it on the trailer by filling it with water. I had a leak like yours that I was bound and determined to find. I chalked around all the rivets to indicate a leak, i put it in the water and stared at the bottom for an hour waiting for a leak. I cursed, I swore and pulled out what little hair I had left. Then I noticed it worse on some days than others. I filled it with water and only got condensation evenly over the whole hull. After about two months of fretting I noticed when I wore one pair of shoes it was worse than if I wore another, and almost non exstant if I launched barefoot. Yes, the water was coming from my shoes. The boat didnt leak at all, I was telling myself it was leaking and overlooking the obvious. Never thought shoes could hold that much water. [/QUOTE]
