If you decide to find the leak by filling the inside with water, don't just fill 'er up. The weight of the water will be extreme and could destroy the hull. Pick the most likely spot for the leak, lean the hull that direction and add some water. I saw a guy do this with a Ski Nautique and by the time he found the leak (swim platform bolts) he had the tires smashed to the rims! I can only guess at the stress on the trailer and hull.

: into your hatches? Or perhaps around your bulkheads if you didn't seal
