Any GTB owners having issues with the front storage leaking through the hatch and water coming under the bulkhead???? If so was it fixed by GT?

Most of these types of boats are constructed similarly, and you won't ever have complete dry storage up front. Mine will also get water up there

I have the same problem. Any little bit of debris will clog the drain hole up. If i keep the debris out it will stay dry unless its out in a hard rain.

Same problem here... my life jackets smell terrible now because it gets wet in there.

It'll get wet...I would take my life jackets out anytime the boat got wet and hang them to dry before the next trip out to keep them from getting that stank..

I put weather strip around the lid on mines! Worked great

My drain tube is alays plugging up. So I now open my bow storage and put a box fan over it to circulate air and dry things out.

I've got a bilge fan under my extended deck that sucks air out of the front storage. A couple small holes drilled on the other side low and high for an inlet to circulate fresh air through the box. I only run it when the humidity is less than what's in the storage area.

Good idea Russ. Not sure if they make a 12v humidistat, but that would be nice to have.
