Tony, My hull 391 has always had the same exact problem; We balance the boat to the best of our ability, full water tank, gear in the proper places , etc. and we still have the puddles when the boat is on her lines. In my opinion, I feel that it is a design fluke in the mould. We just keep a number of Ocello sponges handy and wipe it right out of there; if the sponge has become dry there is always a small puddle to make the sponge work! Really though , as you, I wish they would go away. I'm not getting rid of the boat though! Jim
