Does it make any sense to do a test splash with new stringers in place and before floatation foam and floor is installed to check for leaks? Outdrive installed but without the engine installed. Test splash would be just drop it off the trailer, let it sit for 15 minutes or so and put it right back on the trailer.... Would there be too much flex in the hull doing this? I won't be ready to do this for another month or so...

I am not sure I see any advantage in doing that... are you concerned about leaks in any place other than around the keyhole?

I'd also be worried about flex without the deck and foam.
