I do Bill, even more if I do this getting straight into a warm boat. I have a really tight palm skirt and when I put my dark boat (until I paint it next week) off the car top and onto hot sand, launch it and tip, it seems to suck water in which I attribute to the change of the air pressure. Happen a lot less on cooler days. There is a noticeable depression on the deck of the skirt as as the air inside the cockpit cools down right side up. otherwise, I do get a tiny bit of leakage in the combing in any event over time.
