Stealth 12 or 14

I've been doing some homework on the stealth 12 from what I read it takes water from the front hatch and won't drain.

From what I read, all older stealth models have this issue regardless of if it's a 12 or 14. My 12 has the issue, but it needs to be dumping before I get a significant amount of water in it.

I have a 2014 Stealth 12 and it barely takes on any water through the gator hatch after you strap the buckles and WRAP THE BUNGEE AROUND THE TWO ATTACHMENT POINTS IN THE FRONT. That last part is key since it snugs down the front.

The seal that is completely useless on my kayak is the center bait hatch. If you use it for bait it doesn't really matter but the first time I went out, I thought I could use it for semi-dry storage since it's convenient to take things out from. Needless to say, I wasn't too happy when I opened it up and my sandwich was floating
