1) I've noticed I get more water in the hulls on my new T2 than I did on my 70's '14. Is this normal? If I'm out for an hour or two, maybe a half gallon-gallon per hull. The plugs/seals appear to be in fine condition. Nothing obvious. I'll check the rear inspection port to see if the plugs or bolts for the rudder pintles are leaking next time I put it in the water I suppose. Any other places to check?
Try a soapy water air pressure test as shown in the sailing FAQ. Check crossbar mounting bolts and any hardware attachment points... hatches etc.

2) Mast base pin. In or out? The manual says out, but Getaway, and I believe Wave say to leave it in right? Is there a a reason for the discrepancy? I've left it in for now and haven't had any issues, but would like your opinion if possible.
If no ring to hold the pin in place... I would remove. If any standing rigging fails it also limits damage.

3) Is there any reason the Solo righting system (shroud extenders) for the H17 (or another model) wouldn't work with the T2? I'm just too light to right it myself when I tried in the shallows, so I'm weighing my options on righting systems at this point (pole, extenders, bucket).
Yes, the kit for a similar model would work. You would want the pin in the base for using a shroud extender system to hold the base to the ball.
