Being an x-factor owner I would firstly get your bait tank set up dialed in. Depends on year / model but I reccommend the milk crate set up, it's worked great for me. Basically a bilge pump you submerse over the side, suck water up and put holes in the side of the bucket so the scupper holes behind you are your drain. I wish I had the newer model where the rear storage was flush and the lid opened up better. You'll know what I mean once you look at your behind the seat hatch. After that get some garage door sealer / plastic tubing and marine goop and add a secondary seal to the front gator hatch. It's a beast to paddle but does amazing in entry and exit from the water. I think of mine as an aircraft carrier.
