Hi
I have just got my first fibreglass hulled boat (14 FOOT HALF CAB) and it appears to have a large leak into the underfloor bilge. After about 4 hours on the water I have about 4 gallons or more of seawater come out of the bungs. I have looked under the boat and beyond normal looking scratches in the gelcoat the only breaches of hull integrity are the front metal centre strip running back under the hull fixed with screws. I have silicaned this but with no reduction in bilgewater. Any other ideas I may have missed? Cheers DJ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
