I need some input from you guys,
We have had a small problem on our boat for a couple months now, there is somewhere that is letting in water and we cant figure out where its coming from.
We have tried to troubleshoot the issue and cant figure out what is wrong.
Does anyone have recommendations on where we can take the boat to find out what is leaking? Whether its the bottom fiberglass or one of the hoses or cables, we just need an answer.
Any places in the DFW area?
Thanks TFF

Look up Classic Fiberglass in Sanger. They have a really good reputation.

if you happen to be visiting Lake Fork check out Lake Fork fiberglass.
We had to put our boat up on a strap type life, put water in the boat to find the slit in our hull. We ended up, instead of spending $2500 (paid by insurance), for the repair having Mike put a gator hull on the boat and then next time we get caught on a T post we should not have any problems.

Are you sure it's hull damage. A leaky livewell or aerator hose can do the same thing.

If it is coming through a crack in the hull all you need to do is put the drain plug in the boat and start filling the bilge with water. If it leaks in it has to leak out!

This, can you hear the water entering the boat while your on the water? I had a livewell pump housing that was cracked on my boat which was letting water in you could hear It coming in the boat but couldn't see it until we took everything out and inspected the pumps.

In the DFW area Classic Fiberglass is one of the best.
