I've determined that the water in the bilge must be somewhere else in the boat and moving to that location slowly. (Maybe forward in the bilge, when the trailer gets moved it flows aft). I went down wednesday pumped it dry, and left. Thursday went back and there was some water there. No rain wednesday night, but there was water. I took it out anyway on Sunday, and kept a ruler around. It stayed the same depth (4 inches). When I returned to the dock, I pumped it out again, and waited an hour (the guy pulling my trailer was still out on the bay). It stayed dry the entire time I waited. So I'm baffled. NEXT Questions: 1. Does anyone know where I can get the pin that goes on the mast to keep the sail from coming out when it is lowered? I didn't know this was missing until sunday, when my son (3 yr old) decided to uncleat the main halyard. I was busy watching my friend on his boat to keep him from slamming into me. 2. What are the batten dimensions for the sails? I don't have any, and would like to put some in. thanks, Kenneth Craft
