Have you stuck your finger in and tasted it to make sure it's sea water? It 
might be rainwater coming down the mast.

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?
