I think most owners were sealing the hatches since they didnt have a good seal from the factory


That is correct. I re-sealed everything except the two main hatches. I still need to do that. I can say that after fishing the marsh yesterday, there was only a few drops of water in my yak afterwards.....but it wasn't very choppy yesterday. Overall I'm still happy with it, especially for the price I got it for.

To the OP, I have a Penn Battle 200 spinning reel and I love it for reds and specks.

Thanks for the posts, I've been reading about the seals and it's already on my to-do list. Still got a ways to go before I'll be fishing but it's a start.

Going to rig up a few things i.e. better rod holder, Go-Pro mount, etc before I go out for the first time.

I've also been looking at the forums on Texas Kayak Fisherman and getting some good info.
