Is there any place that a Getaway hull can take water other than the inspection port in the cooler or the drain plugs? I emptied a lot of water out of one of the hulls this weekend and I am hoping it came from melted ice

There's probably a drain tube between the bottom of the cooler box and the exit point on the inside of the hull. Perhaps it got knocked loose? It would be a lot of water if had been popped. This is fairly unlikely.

Likely culprits are the drain plug and the access port in the bottom of the cooler box. Check the gaskets and clean the surfaces.

When in doubt, soapy water and low pressure air pumped in through the drain plug will find a leak.
