Anyone drilled drain holes under the jump seats? Its just a pain to get a couple inches of water out of those compartments after giving the boat a good scrub.

Would love to drill some drain holes, but unsure of what is on the other side.

I drilled a couple holes through the sides so they drain into the engine compartment. In each compartment towards to back is a molded indentation. Thats the area that I drilled the holes. Drains Nicely and keeps the compartments nice and dry.

Same here. Does the trick.
Then do what @Tailwaters did with his gutter drains around the seats on his recent thread and you should be golden. I haven't done that yet but it's definitely on the to-do list.
Also put some dry deck matting on the floor. It's a big help.
