Well, after getting a few gallons in by the last storm, I went by Andy shop and he told that some of the guys put gaskets around the front hatch to reduce the amount of water getting in.

I did the test by putting the hose against the bow and no water came in the front hatch.

What i did was cleaned the plastic and put down some marine glue and then put the weather seal self stick tape on. It provides a better all around seal.
