It was at level rest- just after the boat was taken off the trailer. The water came right in. First thought and question was if the drain plug was in. It only drained out once we got up to speed. And while I’ve moved in from this boat, it’s still a huge learning process. Any older boat is...

No one standing near the transom and no water in the bilge. Water came in at rest and drained out once underway, coming back in whenever the boat was stopped or underway at very slow speed.

They looked like they were in the right spot, but if I knew 100% what I was talking about, I wouldn’t be here. It just didn’t seem right to have standing water like that on the deck. So, what would the moisture level be on a boat that was in the water last week? How quickly would it get to...

The scuppers are pretty low and we’re most likely below the water line. A surveyor came out and the boat had a lot of moisture all over the hull and transom. He said because of all of the foam in the hull, it sucks moisture up and holds on to it. I won’t be buying this one.

Yes, my first thought was that the guy didn’t put the plug in, but he confirmed he did and double checked before heading to the water. Hmmm.

One of them was definitely deformed/ curled upward. I’ll go take another look and get pictures.

I'm looking at a '97 Seafarer 22. During a test run, while not underway and at very slow speeds, water was coming in from the deck drains - approximately 2 inches of water. While underway, it drained out. This didn't seem normal to me. The guy selling didn't seem to know why it was happening...

Congratulations! - Looks like a great one. I took a look also.

Where are you located? New here sorry if it's posted someplace that I haven't seen...
