water under floorboards

[plazmore]

i have an older tri hull that has had an interior upgrade that looks great, but appears to catch water under the floorboards when splashed over the bow, or from rain...this water wont run to the back and go out the drain hole. whats the best way to access and repair this issue? am i forced to take out the floor and seats to cure this? any input is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to iboats.<br /><br />Like Solittle said where is the water collected and some pictures would help iboaters help to solve your problem. The more information you give the better one can help you.

How do you know the water's there? Can you hear it? <br />If you can, then possibly you do not have a foam-filled bilge.<br /><br />Either way, it needs draining, so the exercise is going to be how best to give it a route so that it can be drained through the stern plug.<br /><br />As SoLittle says ..... pics or more details.

i hear it splashing, and can tell theres extra weight when towing and when trying to get on a plane...if i tip it up high enough, i get some water out, but not all...dont have pics, havent pulled the boards yet.
