I have noticed my scum line last year was approx. 2 1/2" higher than the bottom paint. I did change out the engines from 1987 200 hp's to 2005 200 hp's both Yamaha. Not sure if this was the cause, could it be the boat or whale drive is holding water? How would I determine if either was holding water. I do not see any open holes, cracks for water to enter.
