Wanted to let all of you who offered suggestions on my problem with water getting into the hull know your suggestions worked.  I filled the boat with water and sure enough I found the leaks in the most unobvious places.  It appears that the PO replaced the transducers for the chartplotter and depth finder and mounted them so that they hid the previous mounting holes but did not cover or fill them.  With the hull full of water I had two water spouts pouring out from behind each one of them about the size of a straw.  Got all four of them sealed and can't wait to get her back in the water to see if it doesn't stay dry now.

Again, thanks for all the help.
