[QUOTE="Seth, post: 296640, member: 1022"] There is a pretty good crease in one of the keels on the back driver side of the boat and where I suspect the water is entering but I don't see a hole. The water leak isn't enough to stop me from using the boat. I ordered a Johnson float switch that I was planning on installing for the time being so that it would just pump the water out for me every so often instead of me just manually turning the bilge pump on for a bit while running to different fishing spots. Honestly I love my boat and would just assume keep it if it's fixable. It runs fine. I'm going to take it to Cowtown after the Cabin Fever run and see what happens. If they want to total it and it's easy to fix, I just assume take the money and fix my current boat and then use the money for electronics or something else. Heck my first boat had a hole in the driver side corner that the original owner patched with JB weld and it held up from the day I bought it to the day I sold it and it was in place for who knows how long before I bought it.
