There are so many plugs on these boats. If he has the back plug on the ski locker or the plug in the fuel area in. I would not think it would. If it's super hot like not heated from the sun. It's getting forward somehow.

If u search this forum many people were having issues with the anchor locker not being sealed and allowed water between the inner and outer portion of the boats hull.
If it is engine cooling water getting that far forward it will be interested to see how. Does your boat still have flow out the pisses on the side while under power? U may need to drain the compartment, then stick your head down there white the engine running and see if u can determine how the water is getting in.

When was on the water I open the ski locker drain plug off and water just coming in and I always check pisses out when I running but doesn’t do slow speed that should be doing even slow speed ? Or just pisses out then running ?

Idk if you can see there is one more plug like between gas tank and motors right actually 2 side by side one is on other of it should be both off?
the water is coming in when the engines are, and are not running
the water is hot (hotter than the water you are boating in by a LOT)
You have confirmed your anchor locker drain is sealed (what we mean here is that if you look into the hole from the outside, all you see is inside the locker, and don't see ANY gaps between the hull). One quick way to eliminate this is to stick a cork in the drain from the outside.
Do all your pee holes produce water at speed? (I think on your model there are 2 or 4...not certain which)
Have you tried filling your bilge with the boat on the trailer to see if any through hull fittings are leaking water out (keep the plug in)
How much water do you have in your engine compartment (if none....I'm back to the anchor locker) - not sure why water is hot though--if its hot...then you must have water in engine or bilge too - take your phone and take photos inside the bilge via hatch under cleanouts
Have you seen the bilge pump run?
Once we have some clear answers on the above we can proceed. My bets are one or more combinations of:
Anchor locker leak (exhaust manifolds are heating the water)
My money is on a busted exhaust clamp or hose under the clean out hatch. With the boat on a trailer, drain any water and start it up with the hose on. Run for 5 minutes and see if any water comes out the drain. If it does, then track it down.

It could....if your bow is weighed down...you have a hole under the water line. If it is weighed down (someone sitting in the bow) while driving at no wake speed...water is actually being forced into that hole (and into your inner hull). Causes the boat to take on a lot of water.
It is also possible you have more than one leak....

That one doesn't look bad...a view from the outside would be helpful too, but it looks like the sleeve goes all the way into the inner locker, so likely not your issue.
