The carpet is glued down.

I think you are talking about the intakes for a/c from the lake. Those
are already closed, so I don't think it is coming from there. Those
are in the engine compartment and there is no sign of excessive water
in there.

The hot water tank was emptied as was the whole water system.

Is the surface under the carpet fiberglass? I think it is time to
call somebody as this has been going on since winter storage.
Potentially, could they have damaged the boat taking it out/putting it
in the water? It is lifted out with a huge forklift-type truck with
rubber over the fork.


Are you getting water in the bilge, with it getting so high as to be wetting
the carpet? Other than rain or water splashing into your boat I can not
think of a scenario that would cause the carpeting to get wet without the
bilge filling up with water.

Get it out of the water and have a pro check it out. As Chuck said the
likely sources are the outdrive bellows or through hull fittings.
