Check your seat drain tubes in the cockpit. Also on the trailer if you tilt the boat up at the tongue too much water skips the drains and runs in over the lip of the stern cockpit locker and this drains into the bilge.

I removed the settee and its support to inspect a bit more: the foam that sits underneath the cockpit was wet.
