Here is how I found out my old 210 was full of water though it took a little while to add them all up - Fuel burn started to increase on my tracking spreadsheet.
- Time to plane was getting longer.
- Harder to pull with my little (at the time) V6 Tacoma
- The one that really told the tale though, was when I was installing one of the very first factory built false floors for the Mega Hold area and when I got to walking around inside the hold, I heard water squishing under my shoes...
After calling the factory and getting the drains sent to me, I started to drill the 2 drain plug holes in the stern. And when the 1 inch wood bit finally made it though the hull, water poured out for quite some time and then streamed for days afterward... All I can say now is good thing it was a cordlesss drill or I may have gotten lit up big time when the water started pouring out
