Four months into owning my new 2007 240DA, wet cabin carpet. Off to the dealer, many months later problem found (it took a ton of hours, boat was disassembled to find). Trim tab mounting was drilled too big. Water broke past the poor bedding job done at Sea Ray, ran on the upside of the stinger which causes water to flow all the way forward towards the water tank (it's a "downhill" run), drop on to the floor, into that step area, through a weep hole into the engine compartment, out another weep hole into the lower bilge to be pumped out. Yep, the water did a complete tour from back to front and back again. Repair was oversized screws and better bedding. However, 8 years later, water back on the carpet, so I just rebedded the trim tabs, problem solved for probably another 8 years.
