You cut them out and build a panel that will cover the holes.

I think I had reached the same conclusion the "fishing boxes", (live-wells?) really served no purpose but put more weight on the back of my boat. I also feel they were the cause for my boat to sink/capsize. My mechanic removed them and filled the holes with bondo/fiberglass.
Before:
After:
My Shark's a bit leaner. Note the unfinished work. Need to sand it down and paint. My mechanic might have saved the engine but I consider the rest of his work pretty shoddy.
Good choice to remove them. Good luck!

If they are like that I would use them as storage!

The fish boxes I speak of are the ones that are built into the floor and are flush. They have a drain with a plug .

yep two in the floor. I never used them for fish, but did use them for bumpers and line storage
