Easy fix, I have the same Stealth 12 and took it out the first few times and noticed a ton of water in the hull. Now It is completely dry even after the biggest waves, and running the bait tank for hours.
Go to the hardware store and get a thin strip of rubber weather stripping. I believe I got a 1/4 of an inch or so. Run the weather stripping around the inside lip of each hatch. It may be a little snug at first when you close the lid, but it really keeps the water out.
A quick $6-10 fix.
