Hi Erik,
Since the boat was in storage for 18 months you have to ask the following
questions. How was she stored, on her own cradle or jack stands. On solid
surface or ground with shifting. Assume the boat was surveyed and the findings
of the survey may help. Also assume you have all seacocks closed with the
exception of the cockpit drains. The cockpit drains have worked off my boat
during winter; so it is an area that I monitor carefully before launch.
Also I have replaced two hoses on my boat , both involving the sink drains.
just a heads up there. My boat is similar to yours.

I've definitely ruled that out and yes, the stern section is bone dry. Also
water tanks were never filled and all thru hulls appear perfectly sealed. This
water accumulates after a day on the can, without running the engine or sailing.

Are you sure it’s not the prop
shaft stuffing box that is leaking? You said the stern section was dry which
would indicate it’s not the stuffing box but just saying in case. Sometimes
a stuffing box will take time in the water to swell after long winter storage.

The
previous owner says the bilge was dry the last season he had it in the
water. I know him well and trust him that he doesn't recall a grouding
either. I know I haven't grounded it in the week I've had it in
the water... I'm wondering what happened in those 18 months on the
hard to create leak of this size as soon as I launch when he saw nothing his
last season with it?
