the only compartment that leaks a little is the center rod box, but I store my rods in the port rod box and my 15 3700's in the center box. there is nothing to hold the boxes on the sides of the center box like the PT 20. I have a custom rack for 10 3700's and the others on the side. no problem with the Talon. considering adding another but I really don't use them enough to warrant another 2300 bucks. they do make launching easier. mine was ordered with everything except the graphs which came off my last boat. I should be getting the new boat soon but I'm in Chicago so it will be a while before I take it out.
