Plugging some holes

I'm looking to block off the intake for my live well and the live well drain. I don't use the livewell and I don't like the idea of relying on those connecting hoses to keep the boat afloat.

It's a Princecraft Holiday DX. the holes go pretty close to the bottom seam, so not sure if could be welded or not. Any suggestion?

Hardly seems worth the trouble. But, if you must, fabricate an aluminum plate and pop rivet in place.

Why not just put plugs in them same as drain plug for now just in case you change your mind or sell boat in future?

You can plug the intake hole with a drain plug like the one that comes with the boat....fits perfect !!
