Is this a bad thing?

I purchased a Stingray 190LX last year, a few days ago I went to check on my little boat (I keep it dry docked a marina). After taking off the cover I noticed condensation in the ski locker, so I raised the bow up as much as possible and it drained what seemed to be a good bit of water out the back. After thinking about it, it would have to be from where I drained the engine before putting it up for the winter. Does anyone think that any major problems could come up because that water sat in the bottom of the boat for three months? The only thing I can think of is the stringers rotting, but I don't know if that would be enough time to damage them.

Crabby is right. Shouldn't be a problem. Mildew and mold would be more of a problem - just air the boat out well - run it and let the air blow it good and dry! That will be a good excuse to use it.

Thanks guys, it is getting warm enough down here to bring the boat back from its winter nap anyway. Good excuse to take it out all day.

like the others, i think you're fine. next year, just get the bow up higher during storage.
