I purchased a the above boat in the Title at seasons end. here is my problem.
The boat was washed by the previous owner 3 separate times while we were viewing and talking. It was surveyed by MY person. Everything looked good, except the sliding windows that all leak on these models. I moved the boat from the Chagrin River to the Sandusky Bay, approx. 75 miles. beautiful Day 1' seas, boat ran GREAT. Got to the dock, tied up and went below decks. On the starboard side by the forward porthole I see a HUGE nasty colored water stain that went from the top of the headliner down to the divider. I put water every where on the boat using high pressure. No water leak anywhere.
Pulled the starboard running light and re sealed. Cleaned the leak area with scrubbing bubbles and figured got it fixed. Again no water at dock, through rain storms, washings nada. DRY. Take her out for a spin, nice day, back and all this NASTY colored stain same spot. The same Nasty color is weeping externally out the weep holes in the bottom of the rub rails? If I pull the rub rail on the starboard side, what can I expect to find? What can I use to re-seal-re-caulk the area? I am almost positive this is the water problem. Water going under the rails and in, yet when I use a hose nothing .
Open to any and all suggestions, except burning her or selling her LOL
Thanks Folks.
