Ed, it is the Pro2T. I have given the bottom a real good check and can't find any thing yet so the next check is put some water in the hull and see if I can figure out where it is leaking.

Well, I hope you find it. It can be tough.

Were the drain plugs screwed in tight? If it turns out to be a leak, I've had some experience fixing big leaks on a used Hobie Lanai with a Homedepot bucket and a heat gun. It hasn't leaked a drop since the fix. Let me know if you find it and want to go for the quick and ugly fix.

Thanks, I will fill it with water this week while it's on the trailer then start looking for where it's draining from. It has to be on the bottom somewhere because it was all drained by the time I got home though it was still dripping from someplace.
