Any body using 4 blade prop on 89 33 coastal with 7.4 mercruiser?

Hello everyone new user long time reader. I'm in need of some assistance before I loose my mind trying to find this issue. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction here.

So I have a 2002 Wellcraft 220 Coastal Tournament edition. My daughter and I went fishing over the weekend, we were sitting about 2 miles offshore in a medium chop. Nothing to crazy at all. Upon heading out cabin was 100% dry no issues at all nor have I had issues like this in the past.
After sitting anchored for approx 4 hours (in chop), as im getting ready to pull up anchor I noticed a fair amount of water on the cabin floor (approx a 1/4in more towards the aft of the cabin floor. While putting our gear away (approx 10 mins later) I go back into the cabin and now the water is completely covering the floor front to back approx 1.5in worth. In fear of a serious issue and fear of the boat sinking. I take off and trim the bow up as high as possible while running the rear bildge pump manually. Doing this all the standing water (visually on floor) left the cabin almost instantly.
I had over a hour ride back to the boat ramp and during this ride we went through multiple slow speed and idle zones. Which none of these lead to more water entering the cabin. Once I arrived at the boat ramp I went through and checked what I could while being on the water and did not see any water accessing the cabin at all. Stayed at the ramp for approx a hour checking things and all seemed fine (no more water). If this helps at all I did have the freshwater tank full but I never leave the pump switch on I turn it on to use and then right back off again. The freshwater tank did still have water in it when I arrived at the boat ramp. Can't say how much but did drain the tank before loading up which seemed like a close to full tank but may have been less then I think (emptied using the transom shower head so hard to judge). I don't not use the toliet on the boat so the holding tank for it is empty. The valve at the transom is set to livewell and not raw water. I got home shop vac the water from carpet, under the table base and anywhere else I could get a visual on. Go back out a few hours later to close up the cabin and saw alittle more water under the table base again. This could be water that was missed and not reachable while cleaning/drying the first round but I did make sure it was empty when running the vac maybe there was some still there that worked its way forward or maybe the freshwater tank was not emptied completely and its the culprit of all of this?

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! I'm going to start searching today but hoping someone can give me some pointers one how to test and search for this to save me some time and headaches on this hunt so I can get back on the water asap! Thank you again and sorry for such a long first post. Just wanted to assure all details were given so I could get the best assistance/help with this.

Ahoy there, does anybody have or know of a good running condition Caterpillar 3208 TA 375HP engine for sale?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Ahoy there everyone, just joined this morning, (Dec. 6th)

Does anybody know what make/model portholes are used on the Portofino 4300s, also looking for screen replacements for them as well, thanks all in advance!!!

I'm asking if any owners of a 2008 or prob any year 360 coastal if they know what type of hatch lift these boats came with to access the engine area. The previous owner took the original electric ones out and replaced them with manual hydraulic ones which are a PIA.
I want to install electric ones and I'm looking at either Lenco or Acculift.
Thx, George

Hi, all I just picked up a 26' Excaliber it has a bad engine (454 MPI) don't know if it came with any other engine. I am here to find out info on this boat. Got it cheap, it also needs some interior work. About myself I have been boating since 1970, I bounce back and forth between boats and cars, now I have 2 boats and 2 cars (09 GT Mustang Convert and a 67 Dodge Coronet. I have a great Wife of 30 years and always gives in to my whims.

Hello all, love my 180 Fisherman but hate how much room the livewell takes up, would much rather have a flat floor with a leaning post. Has anyone cut out the livewell assembly in one of these and replaced the flooring? Not sure what's under there once you the livewell assembly, is it just bonded to the existing floor or will that create a big hole in the deck that needs rebuilt??? Thought's or experiences with this??? TIA...

Anyone replace the steering cable on one of these? Can I do it with the 115 v4 johnson in place?

Does anyone know if there is wood in the stringers and transom on a 1996 238 ccf? I found evidence of termites and hoping it’s just affecting the floor which I was intending on redecking.

Thanks in advance!

New to me 97 190 ccf. The box under the floor in front of the console won't drain. This is a fairly large sized box that you access through the rectangular hatch door on the floor. I ran a plumbers snake into the drain hole expecting to see the snake come out in the bilge but instead I never saw the end of the snake. The box will drain some level but still a lot staying in there. I can here the snake somewhere around the middle of the boat more towards the port side. Anyone have a clue why thus water hangs out in the box? How and where does that box drain? I will never use that compartment for fish but would like to store stuff in there without it getting soaked. Please help. Thanks
