Thanks for the reply, however I am looking for specifics on how the hull could become wet in the effected area and specifically what process to use to dry the hull. A local J30 had a relatively smaller wet area and had a yard drill a pattern of holes then allowed the boat to dry indoors for 3 or 4 months before patching and faring. I suppose that is one option however I still need to figure out where the water is coming from. (Osmosis, cooler drain, anchor locker? other ideas?)
