We are suspecting our Dauntless is waterlogged, any suggestions on how to go about the search for the water. We think it is soaked into the foam.

Hi Miranda, what year and size is your Dauntless. What hull characteristics are you seeing that lead you to think it is retaining water?

First thing you should do is get it weighed so you can see how much water intrusion you may have. You can go to most major truck stops and use their scales. Weigh it with as much gear removed as possible, then back out the weight of the trailer and the motor and then compare the actual weight of the boat to it's suggested weight.
