never assume that your seams are completely filled. I found my major leak right away. It was where the rolled stitch went under the cockpit coaming. First clue should've been the amount of paint that dripped through.

Patched this one with Marine Goop. Laid the boat in direct sunlight and looked inside to see some pinholes of light. Whacked some paint to the seams and will check on the ocean tomorrow.

Fingers crossed.
