I recently purchased a 2007 speedster 150 SC with 29 hrs on it, with the wake tower. I had a 2003 Sportster 4-tec 155 before and really liked it until I got the Speedster. Here is the issue. In my Sportster, I had a leak between the hull and deck, aft port middle area when I put the boat in the water as well as when I slowed down and water come over the swim platform. Well, the was bc someone who had the boat before me apparently backed into something and popped the rivets and adhesive away. I tried to resolve this by putting 5200 caulk between the rub rail, but this did not do the trick. Well I left it alone as it was not a whole lot of water being taken in, just more annoying than anything.

Well I was initially having engine problems with the new Speedster and I was checking out the engine bay and noticed there was water present. I immediately thought I had some kind of hose leak, so I backed it down in the water, still on the trailer and started it up, looking for any obvious water intrusion. Upon further inspection, I found it was leaking in the same exact spot as my Sportster, which is the aft section of the boat, more on the port/middle area. It is difficult to see under there but there is a small steady stream of water coming in when sitting with the rub rail below the water line. FYI, this boat has not been hit or damaged in any way. I have done nothing to try and resolve this, but wondered if anyone else has had this issue. I have considered some of that Flex Seal, sprayable rubber sealant, as the 5200 did not do the trick.

The engine trouble was just the spark plugs, so that part was resolved.
