One way of finding a hard to find leak (especially hard when
someone bottom coats the boat to hide it) is when the boat is
on the trailer fill it up with some water with the drain plug in.
Let it sit for awhile and look for the wet spots on the outside
hull. There's your leak!

Wow, what a neat idea! I'll try that, plus, it dawns on me that the
previous owner had re-rigged the aerator hose to use it with a separate
tank. I'm wondering if I need to put that back the way it was. Either
way, it all bears close inspection.

I wouldn't get carried away with the volume of water you place in the
hull. The hull is designed for the water to support it on the
outside...not on the inside while on a trailer/cradle.
