I tore mine apart this winter. The water was never coming from the bow. It actually comes from the bilge. There is a failure between the deck / hull bond creating a passage for water under the bulk head that seperates the ski locker from the bilge. In addition, whom ever installed the ski locker drain installed it at crooked and failed to seal around it. I ended up cutting out all the deck fiberglass and pulling all the foam (which was soaked) from the bilge are, under the bulk head and under the ski locker out. Re-foaming, Re-fiber glassed the hull deck joint, bypassing the bulkhead ski locker drain with a new drain, sealing the entire thing with epoxy and a good 2-3 coats of bilgekote. I left the access hatches I cut initially in the ski locker to make sure water was no longer getting trapped.
