unsealed screw holes are the prime suspect. On this 13 it was a lot of things, captains chairs installed with no wood backing, no caulk and the stress cracked the fiberglass. A large crack in the deck, left unrepaired and a large hole in the keel, also unrepaired. All that combined added 150# of water to the boat.
