Check the transom wood. If you are real ambitious you can plug the boat and add water to see if there are any leaks.

Bob has a good point, check for leaks before you do the floor. if leaking, you can use Gulvit on the inside, before replacing the floor. makes it much easier.

I might do that, ive had the boat out quite a few times now with no water entering the boat so I dont think there is any leaks.
