Congrats, nice looking boat for sure. Not to piss in your corn flakes, but on mine it was not the rub rail, after looking into the lil closet on the right side as you go to the cabin, you need to remove the carpet on the ceiling in there, you will see a bolt that fixes the bow rail to the deck rite in front of the windshield. That is where mine was leaking. Had dad sit in the cabin while I sprayed water there, sure enough it poured in. It is a pita to get to also. Try the rub rail first if you think thats it but after seeing this, I would say that is the issue.

It's coming in through the drainholes in the back corners of the transom. Incidentally, I did get rained on this last weekend, and i do indeed have water under the front step, as well as in the porta potty hideaway. I'm thinking that I do have the typical bow rail leak also, so I'll dig into it this weekend since the weather here in DFW doesn't look like it's going to cooperate for a lake trip. Thanks for the tip, that's the first place i'll start!

was this the same boat at McGoy's Toys?

I had a 98 32' fever with t502 mpi's and bravo's, also had fresh water flush on it. They had low water pick up's which caused it to suck up sand when I was in shallow water, the grit would cause the t-stats to stick. I replaced MANY t-stats because of this, they cost about $25.

It hasn't been beached as far as I know, not really any place around here to beach it, but that's kind of my feeling too that it's the Tstat. I'm going to throw a pair in this weekend. Also, it burned an impeller up when I test drove it (the owner had run it on the hose, and didn't put the flush back to pickup from the drive on the port side.) He had it replaced before I bought it, so I'm wondering if it hasn't been backflushed from the oil cooler. I'm going to do that also while I'm doint the Tstat. Thanks for the tip!

And yes, this is the one that was at McGoy's for a while. I actually found it advertised on the Texoma CL and called direct. I didn't realize it was the same boat until he told me it used to be out there.

What state did that boat come from? I was recently traveling to Iowa and saw a 32 beak just like this headed south in Missouri on hwy 61. Curious if it was the same one.

It's been at Lake Texoma for the last couple of years at least.
