I always had water in the bilge after running my ex 27 Fever, spent a lot of time trying to figure out the source. It turned out being the seal of the deck and hull at the swim platform. There is no access to glass that area so the factory only use sealant.
I suspect the construction of your 35 is the same as the 27.

There is alot of turbulence at the stern when running at speed. Water was deflected upwards and made its way in to the bilge when going above 50mph. I only found out when leaving the hatch off the boat and sitting in the bilge when my dad was running the boat.

I get that. Maybe I misunderstood. He has it coming in while sitting still. That would negate that joint.

The top and bottom aren’t glassed together along the back and they all leak and vibrate and make noise. Take the rubrail off around the swim platform. Clean up the joint drill some holes for big pop rivets. 5200 the **** out of it and pop rivet it together. Then 5200 your rubrail screws when you put the rubrail back on.
