I had the water under the step issue when I first purchased mine. It turned out that I had the nose to low when stored, I now jack the front end way up, no problems in 3 years. Start with this simple step first, there may be something else going on, but this is a good starting point. Oh, store with drain plug out.

Boat is currently stored all the way up on level ground. I also have started using my full cover instead of just the cockpit cover. Will report findings of water after tomorrow when I get to use it.

I believe one of the problems was leaking around the windshield if the weather stripping was bad.
