I have a 96 175 BR that has been sitting on the trailer for some time. There is water UNDER the floor that doesn't drain into the bilge compartment or the floor storage area - it is actually under the storage area. It squirts out of the holes in the floor for the screws that hold the lids for the storage area when I step next to them. It also drains out of the hole for the screw that holds the chain that the plug between the storage and bilge compartments is attached to. Does anyone know how it got in there or how to get it out?
 
I had a 1990 Welcraft with this problem. Mine actually had a plywood floor encased inside the fiberglass. The previous owner had let rain water get in, and just a little standing water weeps into the screw holes and rots the wood. I had to cut out the floor, lay new plywood and re-fiberglass and carpet the boot.

Sorry for your trouble, but it would seem that you might need professional help.
