If that is the case, I would look really good at the scuppers then. That area seems to cause more problems for anglers than others. If you run a finger down the scupper and you feel a very pronounced ridge, that's one of the weak spots where scuppers can leak.

If you want to see if they leak, you can buy a small jar of plumbers putty and make a ball out of some to plug one end of the scupper. Then fill it with water and see if you get water inside the kayak from a leak. Just a thought,
