Just have to get used to opening them up when you get home and dry them out. You think boat manufactures would get there poop together, I mean its is 2022 and we can put a robot on mars but can not have dry storage in a boat. LOL
Its strictly a cost thing. The Adventure is an entry level, price-point boat. So they have no water control channels for any of the storage. If you buck up the extra $ for the Impact, you get channels that keep more of the water out of the locker, but are still not fully sealed. Then again, if you buck up more $$$ and go to the Pro-V, you get full water control with wide channels that direct all the water to the bilge and sealed lids that keep everything dry as you wish, same as the robot on Mars. But if they add all these features to the Adventure the cost climbs to the point where it equals or exceeds the Impact and then the reason for it to exist in the lineup disappears.
