Problems with Sea Bright Skimmer

I've just tried out the Sea Bright Skimmer I put together - it leaks at the seams. I followed the directions (I think), but I'm now very frustrated with the outcome. The hull and deck sections are made of plastic which are pulled tight together using tape as clamps, then a strip is screwed over the joined areas along with silicone caulking. The section near the coaming (about 4 feet long) is at the waterline and water dribbles in. Has anyone had this problem?? Do I have to take the whole thing apart & start over? Thanks for any help, Alice
