Finding a leak

Have an 85 aquasport, and 2 years ago, at the end of the season, was getting a fair amount of salt water in the bilge. So last year inspected the bottom, found and old fiberglass repair that might have been the problem, ground it down and reglassed in, also found a spot on keel near the bow that might have been an issue, so I reglassed that area. All was good for the first few months of the summer, but after being in the water for 3 months, started getting salt water in the bilge again. So, short of filling the hold with fresh water and looking for where its coming from, any ideas on looking for a leak in the hull? There are no thru hull fittings under the water line. Two of the engine bolts are under the waterline, was wondering if it could be that.
