There is no access to the area under the cabin sole but there is a hole at the forward engine bulkhead for water to flow to that forward bilge. I suspect that while the boat was on the hard the angle of the boat was such that water moved forward and was contained in the forward bilge and couldn’t be seen. Then when launched, the change in angle on the hull during transport, on the slings, or when floating caused some of that unseen forward water to move aft and be visible moments after launching. BTW this exact thing happens each year on my 1988 3100.
