If you're getting gallons of water in the empty space between the hull and the deck (the one you drain by unscrewing the 2 drain plugs in the transom) I'd have the dealer look it over closely real soon. I've had one of these for two seasons and haven't gotten any noticeable amount of water to drain out of the interior of the hull yet. If your getting water in the cockpit area & it is not draining as fast as you think it should, you might want to try redistributing the weight to encourage the draining. (of course this time of year its good to make sure you don't have any small leaves blocking the movement of the white ball in the bailer in which case it can't work very well).
