Default taking on water

I purchased a used sea ray 21 ft. seville 1986, after leaving in the
water a couple of days the boat was filling with water, no aparent
holes in hull and still I was getting water inside sleep area days
after I pulled boat from water. if anybody has ever experienced
anything like this any help would be apreciated. thanks steve.


I'd bet the rubber boot that connects the outdrive to the hull is leaking.

They get old and brittle and leak. Or sometimes small animals can gnaw
holes through them.
