Answers to a few more of the questions:

- When we put in new transducers (more forward than this position), the hull was solid fiberglass.

- The survey called out the bilge pump in the area as needing a new float switch. But did not discuss that it should not have been there in the first place. I'm the third owner, and the survey from when the last owner bought it shows the pump, but also does not discuss the source of the leak. So this was installed by the first owner who had the boat for about 2 years.

- I'm in fresh water, so the water is fresh, but when we first looked at it, the boat was in salt water, and the water was salt. While there are hoses and pumps in that area, they are all above the top shell and show no signs of leaking.

- There are two visible thru-hulls in this area. The raw water intake for the air conditioner, and a 1/4" bolt with a ground wire on it. From photos of the haul-out, it looks like the ground plate.

Currently my chief theory is the raw water through hull for the A/C is leaking.
