The guys at Merritt Marine guided me over the phone as to what i needed to do. I drilled a hole in the rear directly in the center of the hull and installed an additional drain plug,also inside the boat i removed those gray covers that you walk on... and drilled toward the rear compartment and installed a hose to connect the two compartments so any water inside the boat would drain toward the rear and on out of the boat.Do exactly what they tell you at Merritt...i tried to seal those gray covers with a foam / rubber weatherstrip...it only caused the covers to not set down properly so after a month or so i took the seals out.Merritt told me not to seal it up but it looked like a good idea..WRONG!!I also installed some 1" or 1.25" plugs in scupper holes from the inside. I've had no problems since.. NONE! The only grip i have is DRY STORAGE there is none. Every compartment on the boat gets wet. I'm getting ready to install some additional rod holders on the sides. My speedo sticks some what don't know if it needs cleaned out or what, i have'nt looked into it.
