What have you guys down for water drainage of the rear seat bases? Previous owner drilled holes then filled them with silicone.

The recess for the center seat in my Sailfish is pitched all the way around so that water won't accumulate. It looks like yours is partially recessed. I had a hatch on a Wellcraft that accumulated a small bit of water like that and I would occasionally just blast a hose there with the hatch closed to flush out the crud that accumulated but otherwise ignored it. I usually had bigger fish to fry with that boat.

Same thought as above. I've noticed these channels aren't pitched quite enough to evac all the water, but I'd rather have that than draining the water into the bilge. A quick wipe with a rage will take of it, but really, I'm not even that worried about it. If it starts to bug me, maybe I'll repitch it with some epoxy. In your case, with the holes there... and if that was my boat, I'd plug the holes.

I tried that but then what happens is when it rains all the water pools in the cockpit area
