I believe someone has had a similar issue, and I kinda didn't believe it myself and kinda dismissed it as a fluke.
I put the boat into the garage and I need to push the front over to allow for some more room during the winter. No big deal, but I kinda gave it a good shove to do it, and then I heard water sloshing around in the FRONT!
I Shook it around for a few more times, and I couldn't believe it! It doesn't sound like just a little bit either, it sounds like GALLONS!!!!

It's not in the anchor locker.
It's not under the seat cushion.
It's gotta be UNDER the floor section of the hull, trapped in stringers or something.

Any ideas how to get here or inspect? I thought it was a myth!!!
 
Thats got to be at least 2 mph Lee. Get that out!! :p
 
Mine does that also, but not as bad. Last week I drove to to get serviced, and as I towed it, the g-force of acceleration pushed the water back to the bilge, and it turned on. There was a BMW next to the boat going down the street, and it was soaked,lol. OOPS! HAHA
 
Just think of it as surf ballast!
 
Surf?
I wish
Took my mom out today and my wife had to work, so I had the 3 kids. My mom has never been on a boat before and was confused when I asked her to just push off the dock when were going to lunch. Slammed the boat sideways onto the corner of the dock -OUCH

In any case, I guess i'll start cutting holes...
