Thanks Otto, and all the above that responded. I had already tried and checked all things mentioned and haven't really found anything seriously wrong. The boat is set up as it came from the factory and really has nothing forward of any weight. The more I think about it and read the comments about anchoring in 3' chop the more I think that was the problem. Even though I didn't drop the anchor I was head into the waves and they were close together and so the that might account for water coming over the bow. Just the same when I get a chance I'd shoot some photo's and see if I can get some feedback on how the boat sits in the water.

Otto, try not to freeze before spring. That El nino thing sure put strange spin on our weather pattern this year. The tornados your talkin about hit over in New Orleans but also flattened around 50 houses around the Breaux Bridge area whhich is where I'm from. Thanks again.
