Hi Howard, the port cockpit locker, the galley, the main cabin and the area under the starboard bunk are all bone dry. There is a small bilge behind the centerboard trunk, but I emptied that one out (it still collected maybe one cupful of water after driving around, but that's probably just stuff left around). I don't have any carpet under the starboard bunk. It is the bow storage locker that causes the trouble. Could there be water hiding either under the water tank support or under the battery support (both have some kind of pedestal they sit on)? My bigger worry would be if water got somehow in the space between the cabin molding and the hull, and is trapped there. Or could there be water in the main keel trunk? Obviously that would lead to the steel punchings rusting, not good... However, the water that appears being rather clean makes me think it's probably not from the ballast area. I found no way to access either of these spaces. I did try to tilt the boat with its trailer as far back as it would go (maybe 30 degrees angle). It stayed like that for 10 minutes, and upon returning it to a flat position not much water showed up. Andrei.
