Jay I think your 1/2" hole will allow you to epoxy in a good drain
plug so I wouldn't regret drilling the hole. I think it's important you get
that plugged up maybe less in your case since you run with canvas up.
I do a lot of fishing so don't keep my cockpit covered. I would still think about an inspection hatch just to air it out and see what's in there.
But that's me I tend to be cautious. Anyway lad your doing well. Take care.
