Noticed that our drivers side pontoon is leaking at the weld where the Lifiting streak meets the toon? Here is a video

Are your lifting strakes sealed or open? Maybe the toon is not compromised (hopefully).
 
I had the same problem a few years ago on my sealed strakes and performance foils and port side pontoon. Covered on warranty, but has to be documented by dealership and submitted as a warranty item for approval by Bennington. I took the quicker and easier fix: drilled out a drain hole in the rear of my “formally” sealed strakes to drain, and re-welded up the weld seams. It was a fairly quick and easy process. Being on fresh water anyway, this solution has worked great, as I really didn’t need sealed strakes anyway.
