Check to be sure the flex cable is greased well. Also, you boat will be moving forward on the water and it will not seep "up" when running. If just sitting in the water, there should be very little to no water getting in the hull.
When running the boat it is normal for a small amount to get in the hull (like all boats without taped on hatches, etc), it will not hurt anything....
Have fun!

I just bought a Supervee27 and stuck it in the tub to see how it floats and noticed that it's taking on water. There's no visible flaws in the hull so I think it's coming in around the prop drive. Can anyoe say whether it's normal to slowly take on water?
The manual says it's normal to take on some water over the course of a run but I don't know whether they just mean what will splash up and in, rather that a constant leak. I didn't think I'd need to install a bilge pump in this thing...
