Bit the bullet and drilled into the bottom to see how much water was in the hull. Really a matter of curiosity, and my suspicions were confirmed. What do you know, there is water in my hull, but it only drips out, not gushing out. It has dripped for over a day, but overall, I am happy it didn't gush. I plan on filling the hole first with a little gorilla glue to absorb the remaining moisture followed by a fiberglass driveway marker and then two part epoxy. It will never be seen under the bottom paint.
