[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 230027, member: 3438"] While the water intrussion may be just from speedo tube, rain, and splashover, it would be best to test for leaky rivets now with the decks and foam removed. Make sure the boat is supported well on the trailer, and slowly fill to about 3-4" water depth. or if you can, high enough to test all rivets below the waterline. Be careful, it will weigh allot. Any drips will indicate leaks. Most rivets can be tightened up vs needing replacement. When I did our starcraft, I thought I was just wasting my time, but did find a few leaky rivets. [/QUOTE]
