I had a 1984 Wellcraft 180 Fisherman and the plywood in the battery tray also rotted out. I don't think Wellcraft sealed the underside of the tray. I also found exposed wood in the stringers where they cut a v-notch in them for routing the fuel lines - I had the rod boxes removed in order to find that.
On my boat, there were cockpit drains in the back corners just outside the battery box and livewell on the other side. You might want to check the hose from the floor drains to the thru-hull if you have that setup (rod boxes were removed to gain access to the drains). I replaced the plastic drain fitting and all plastic thru hulls with stainless steel fittings from Gemlux. I also replaced the hoses for peace of mind out on the water. I used 3M 5200 to seal the thru-hull fittings. The plastic thru hulls and fittings break down with exposure to the sun.
