In the footwells I placed a aluminum perforated mesh over the front scupper then closed off the rear. On my x-13 water would splash up through the rear footwell scuppers when I paddled, so I closed them off. The mesh on the fronts is to keep things like sinkers, hooks and keys from falling through the hole.
Rear the foam ends right at the scupper so my bait tank doesn't sit on the foam but lower on the original plastic and it drains through the scuppers.
We're on the same page. That water back in the well was always an issue so I raised the rear deck with foam so it's above the water line.
