<p>Hi Joseph,</p>
<p>This boat was built 7 miles from my home. Keith probably built it in his shop which now is a Lane County park on the McKenzie River; he moved his shop a few hundred yards to his home, and it might have been built there. It may be that the slow leakage is from the boat being bone dry, and not in water. If this is the cause, it will swell and the leaking will subside. The trailer looks like one built by Keith's son, Steve, in Lebanon, OR. Very sturdy trailer. Glad you…</p>
