Thanks for the response! Speedo's don't work but I have new speedo tubes that I need to install so this is very possible!

Next place I'd look is the exhaust hose to transom connection, then I'd look for a hole in the muffler(s).
Next place I'd consider is the platform brackets that are mounted with lag bolts into the transom. Water pushing the platform when slowing can open up a loose lag bolt....
The neighbor also has a valid point but that is usually at slower speeds...

I have a strong feeling that it's the rear platform brackets. The entire platform seems pretty loose, especially when weight is put on it.

Rubrail and everything will most likely be redone this winter so if I don't find it by then we'll see!

Definitely possible, water does get pretty high when coming off!
