Thats a pretty good size crack and will need repairing regardless if its the problem. So start there and follow the link blue runner provided. If thats not it then go to plan B and do what willy sugested.

Blue Runner, perfect timing on your post, I will follow the leader.
I will start by fixing the original crack, then follow Willys check list, great ideas there Willy ;D.
Then paint her and drop her in the ocean... and pray for the best.
Thanks!!!

Not done yet ;D
I know its not the major cause of the water, but I do have a soft spot right next to the hatch over the gas tank that is letting water seep into the tank area.
i assume that any water entering here will seep its way into the hull and out the bilge?
I am going to try and billed a support frame around the tank area to prevent the fluxuation in the floor that has caused the seel to break and let the water in.
Any body else ever have this problem? ???
Thanks!!!

I wouldn't fill you boat with water. *Holes and/or cracks are (most of the time) pretty obvious if you look carefully. *

Fix what you can see, cross fingers and launch. *You'll find out if you missed a spot.

I will be posting an update on my sanding and 2nd coat this evening with pix. *
