1987 Sea Ray 20' 4.3 OMC. Boat is in excellent condition, and has never had any leaking issues. Never got a drop of water after pulling the plug. Auto bilge didn't turn on until the boat was stopped in the water. Ran the bilge while moving and didn't get any water.

Start bailing . . .

I vote for a damaged transom and/or transom assembly.
