Yeah, I see what you're talking about. Of course another possibility is that at some point the boat sat neglected outside, perhaps for a long time, and the bilge filled with rainwater. This IS Coos Bay, Oregon we're talking about here, not the driest place on the planet. I've seen kayaks stored right-side up in the racks in our marina become completely full of water in the course of a week. So I think it's certainly a possibility in the case of this NT26. Perhaps it's even what motivated the owner to put it inside.

Not that filling the boat full of rainwater is a Good Thing, but I suppose it's better than filling it full of salt water, particularly in regards to the engine if it ended up partly underwater.
