I have a 2003 21' Seacraft and I am pretty sure your livewell is like mine. I was having the same problem as far as water getting in and also having to clean pine straw, leaves, etc. all the time. I sealed the lid down and installed a hatch in the lid itself. Now everything is fairly watertight. One real benefit of it is now the livewell itself is basically pressurized. It will fill completely with water and the baits don't get sloshed around as bad. It is a fairly low profile hatch so walking on it has not been a problem. I was very hesitant in doing this but now after 3-4 yrs I have not regretted it. I am pretty sure your livewell and floor are made together as one. If you don't need the livewell and only want storage I would seal the inlet and overflow holes. I would think you would need to keep the pump out pump there because if you did get water in it could be pumped out as you do now.
