If you really got tilted far, the water in your fwd bilge area may have spilled over the stringer to the outer side.

Take the rod boxes out and look. If there is no water there now it may have slowly drained back...
If your boat doesn't have foam get your arm in there and you'll find crap blocking the holes that allow water to flow back to the stern. At the transom it flows thru the stringer to the bilge. That gets blocked too.
Do it on both sides...
After 1986(?) they put foam in there. Not sure how they dealt with water after that...

There is a pipe thru your fuel tank space. It gets blocked at the front. The only way to clear it is cutting the fishbox floor where the drain is to get your hand at the front of the pipe.
