I have a GLS 195. totally gutted and rebuilt it. i believe your foam under the floor got water logged from rain, garden hose,ect. it is not closed cell foam. the bilge pumps out water till empty, shuts off, foam bleeds out more water into bilge, and it starts all over again. picture a halve of a water melon with a scoop out of the center of it. had the same problem, was very frustrating till i found it. great boat,good luck.

will be in sodus bay next week. have not been to Henderson yet.

it never did happen last year like it should have either.  population of kings was way,way down. what does dec have to say about this?

i have been fishing sodus for 8yrs now, and will be up there when you are. get a hold of me if you want.   salmonhuntersodus

if hull is not leaking after putting water in it with the garden hose in your driveway, i suspect your older foam in your hull is absorbing rain water. you will pump the bildge dry and some time later have to do it again?  foam could be bleeding out more water and the process repeats over again. try to take a core sample of foam from somewhere in the rear of the boat to check for water content. if it is really bad the hole left from the sample will fill in with water just like a hole in a watermelon. good luck and let me know.    john

you and your dad made some good memories that trip.

we could always change our plans and stay at Cayuga. possibly taughannock state park?

Sampson?
