Is that a shadow from the camera flash, or is there a crack all al around that drain plug?

does you logs have a warranty? I know smokercraft has lifetime and you should have something like that I would believe. If it does take it to them

Lifetime warranty so no worries about getting it fixed. The same log had a leak last year that I had fixed. When I get a chance, I will attempt to find the leak myself. It is a fairly simple process. I will make a tutorial with a lot of pics if/when I find it.

Yes, along one of the strakes. I'd look up a link to the thread if I wasn't on my blackberry

That sucks. I had water in one of my 'toons before, but it was because of salt water corrosion. Either way it's no fun. Now I am always checking to see if I am listing.

Did you check for galvanic corrosion?

I had a cracked weld in my two year old Starcraft, fixed under warrenty. When you use a lift it is easy to see water draining from pontoon!

I got about a gallon out of each pontoon the other day, accumulated over about a year. They seemed to be holding air pressure (air came out when I pulled the plug) so I am not sure where the water comes from.

I have so far never had any water in my pontoon's, boat is 8 years old and I use it alot. I checked it and they are dry as a bone. I really hope I dont have to deal with this. It sucks for you to have to take the time to find it and take it to have it repaired. Hope it works out good and I look foward to seeing the results.
thanks
