In that same "well," I didn't like that it was connected to the front well in the engine compartment. I sealed it off and it's been dry since. I think this is the source of water intrusion into the cabin flooring on these models.
In the openings on each hull side, I was surprised to see the amount of water that came in when it rained. From the factory, they're plumbed into that little bilge in front of engines. On mine, water would sheet down the inside of the hull sides and into the wells under the engines when you'd have one of those sideways rainy days. Awkward access to get into the bottom side of those on the outward side of the hulls, but sealed them up and they've been dry since.
The only other thing I would advise, especially if you store in water, check the grounding blocks for all the green wires that run from a terminal to pretty much every part that needs grounded. There's one mounted on the aft side of the engine compartment and one in the rear bilge under the fish box. If the grounds corrode and become disconnected various parts can become sacrificial...I've replaced missing/broken ones and cut back and reconnected most of the rest just for peace of mind.
Good choice, these models are built solid. I know mine can take more weather than I can, which is how it should be because I only like to go out when it's nice anyway.

Thanks for the input. Going from a center console to this has been quite the change in ride BTW.

The through hills are going to be a none of them are in an easy place.
Check the air vents on the hill side for the engine room. They were not sealed right from the factory. Mine need resealed this offseason
As mark said I have a few project posts for the things I have done to mine so far and one for winter projects.
Great boat. You did however forget to post pictures!!!
Good luck with her
