Wellcraft is not alone...seems all boat mfgrs are only concerned with water flow/control and have no idea that the real world deals w/dirt/debris...had a buddy w/a 19' dual console Grady back in '86...although a "top tier" boat, it was no better at addressing this issue...

Bottom line is if you have a boat, you have a DIRT MAGNET!!...and unless you are among the fortunate folks who enjoy inside storage(and you know who you are...lol!!), you're gonna be cleaning that puppy out from time to time...
