I have a 1992 Yamaha wave runner that sinks. How do I find the leak in the hull?

I bought an old waverunner that normally sat on a lift (dry) when not in use. I stuck it in the water for two nights and it sunk (as much as a waverunner can, which isn't much...). I've pumped out the water and it started up fine. How can I go about trying to trace down the leak?

    I agree with Merlin. But, do not fill up the hull. Slowlly put water in and watch outside for leaks. Stop before the water reaches the bottom side of the engine. Most likely the leak is around the drain plug or the water intake for the jet or the drive.
