Your boat leaks gas or the tank leaks gas? What shop did you take it to? Unfortunately, you're rather unclear in your explanation.

WOW! A very unintelligent response to a pretty good question. I doubt that anyone is dumb enough to fill their boat with gas hoping it seeps into the tank. Something tells me has has a gas leak someplace in his fuel system that the dealer has not been able to diagnose.
Do you actually see the gas or just smell it? Some of the poly gas tanks they used were so pourous that gas fumes were able to permulate thru them.

There is a steady drip of gas coming out of the drain hole. I have the boat in 3 times to fix gas leaks from the built in tank.this a new boat and it seems there is no way to get ahold of princecraft for any help.there is only one princecraft dealer in the area. Why does princecraft hide behind their dealers?

It sounds like a venting problem. Fisrt of all is the gas tank vented. If not it needs to be. If it is vented are any of the lines kinked or blocked?

The boat is at the dealers now for 3 weeks waiting for them to look at it. I have seen a vent hose that comes to the filler cap. I'm getting fed up with the poor service and thats why i'd like to get ahold of someone from princecraft. Thanks for your help.

It is possible that a screw or something put a hole in the gas tank. The trouble will finding the hole and fixing it.

Your dealer isn't doing anything and is hoping you will just go away.
I would go in there screaming and threatening to get a lawyer. I bet they are the type of dealer that only greases the squeeky wheel. Time to be that wheel.
Don't let them off the hook!!!!!
