On its Maiden voyage. I had to run the bilge pump several times over the course of 3 days. At first I was thinking the hull was leaking but it seem to become less and less as time went on. I figure that the bouncing around was moving the water back that had pond under the floor. My older lund with carpet had those screws that you talked about. May do that. Dont like how the rust comes out of the middle of the factory rivets, Staining the floor. thanks for the tips
