Saves a lot of wet feet while fishing in the stern and cost ten bucks!!! We put them in before we drop the lift and are dry all day!

Yep! I do the same thing. No wet feet. Get up on a plane and it drains super fast. Actually in my case the deck will drain at rest, as long as nobody or several people are standing in the back of the boat.
