Here is two pictures with the carpet pulled up:

You can see that all of it is fiberglass and is obviously made this way. Im
assuming its a overflow tub for the back area and maybe water is sloshing up
into this area?

What do you people think? Im going to leave the carpet out when I take her
out tomorrow and try to observe whats going on. Plugging the hole woudl
stop this problem but if Im taking on too much water then I woudl need this
over flow.

Also like I said before when I take out the drain plug after 2 hours of
boating there is only 5-10 seconds of water coming out. That is without
running the bilge pump the entire time.

Thanks!

Note when you pull the carpet back this is not a man made or busted hole
it
is the way the craft was designed I guess. The metal is rounded and
smooth
right here.

I think you may be approaching this from the wrong end. My guess is that
little well and tube are designed to do the opposite of what you're
describing. That is to say, when you get water in that low spot up front,
it's supposed to drain through the tube down into the bilge where it can be
pumped out. Otherwise, it has nowhere to go. (I'm assuming that when the
boat is in the water, the bow end of the tube is higher than the stern end.)
I'd check around in the bilge and see why there's so much water getting in
there that it's running forward when it's on the trailer. That doesn't seem
right.
