We removed the tops to the fuel tank and found that the water was coming in through the flange at the top of the center board trunk. The whole length of the trunk showed areas of failure. The keel bolts looked fine though.
The plan is to re-fiberglass the whole area along the top of the trunk, and the keel bolts, remove the baffles and fit in a new tank into the area. The new tank will be two sepearte tanks and should total about 60 gallons.
I have also replaced the engine and the cockpit is under construction.
I have several pictures available.
