rain water

It takes a while sometimes for it to slosh around far enough to all get out the limber holes. First time I holeshot out of the marina I always hit the bilge switch and drain out the last few gallons. Iv'e seen it go for a few minutes sometimes too.

i thought that... but this is EVERY time i get back.
I leave it on the hill of the driveway and pull the plug.

yep but remember every time you park it there is always going to be water somewhere. Mine gets parked on an incline transom down and it don't drain even with the plug out there is always something in it. Even more when it pulls out of the driveway which is pretty steep-it all goes to the rear then. Things to look for is a possible poor sealing job on the hull sections if it's fiberglass, sometimes it can be hidden from view by the rub rail, other things are rod holders not sealed, drain bungs, lights etc. They all can leak into the bilge if not sealed properly.

my 23's dry as a bone even after a heavy downpour......or even a 4'er over the stern....I'd start checking....boatyards aren't the best, they may have a good rep. but it depend's on the guy that worked on the boat that day too. Take nothing to chance..time for a recon of all fitting and hatches.
