[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 487303, member: 15636"] You do know that isn't a 100% reliable method , right? In the water a boat displaces a mass of water equal to the mass of the boat. So a 200 pound (#) hull displaces 200 #s of water, where 200 #s of water / 8.3 #s per gallon = 24 gallons. But adding 24 gallons of water inside the hull could place the water at different spots (and depths) than where the pressure would actually bear on the hull from the water being on the outside. There would also be the most water pressure at the deepest spot(s) of the hull. Capice? Myself I just take it to the nearest local pond with the OB, tank and all gear normaly carried (or the weight distributed equal to all that), to make an accurate assessment for [i]if she's gonna leak or not ..
