Hate asking this question, but got to......Why are my scuppers underwater?

Circle, I'd consider anything that would reduce the weight so I am getting more than .75 miles a gallon (estimate).
I dont have an inside pic of the scuppers on hand, but their are located at the bottom of the splashwell and here is a pic of the back

Thanks for the stern pic.

If she's getting that mileage, and top-end as you describe...CH may have a good fix short-term.

Guess you saw the "wet foam" post...we made need to think along those lines.

Yeah gran, I am thinking of heading on that direction.  

I do not care about cosmetics at this point because at some point the deck and transom will need to be redone anyway.  Since everything is solid, it could withstand some exploratory holes that I patch up.  I have all the west epoxy and cloth i need on hand, so I guess the only choice is where would the best location be for a single hand sized hole that would allow me to get a good view of the space between the stringer and the side of the hul and reach as much foam as possible.  

As a refresher and justification for why i think my weight is on the outside of the stringers, here is what i found on the starboard side when doing the tank



Busted fishbox drain throughhull



and it was surrounded by this


which was bone dry at the top, but soaked at the bottom.  


I have had my boat pitched in my driveway at around 20 degrees to stern all week, so if i have a chance of getting water, now would seem to be it.

Good deal. This thing ain't gonna whip us.

Sorry for cumming in late, I remember a post when I first joined, A member drilled and installed an air fitting in the forward portion of his stringer and another at the rear in the bilge. put light air pressure to the front, and water comes out the back. I don't know if it worked, but it sounds like it would. Just another option before you start cutting holes in your boat! Good luck .
