before you take theplug out you can see a little trickle
stream of water coming into the cuddy area from where it meets the deck of
the boat. I would assume this isnt supposed to happen and that it just be a
leak right there from the water that the plug releases. Can I just cauk
that up with something?

I can take some pics of the area Im talking about tomorrow. I'll try to
pull the carpet back tomorrow too and investigate further.

Is this water on the deck surface, and then
running into a failed joint between the deck and the superstructure? If so, you
can probably seal it up and "get by" for a while.

If the water is not visible on the deck but simply appears where the deck and
the superstructure intersect each time the boat is tipped back, it sounds like
you could have a saturated core under the foredeck. Not the best possible news,
if so.
