With my sit on tops, the holes are actually contoured tubes molded into the kayak,
there is a six inch to eight inch space between the bottom of the boat and the
bottom  of the cockpit.
the water never comes up high enough to enter, but will always drain down the
holes to the  bottom and the  exterior,  about a six to eight inch drop.
picture two inch straws joining two hulls and a six inch space between them.
The inside of a sit on top is a hollow cavity.
although during rough water and heavy movement it is not uncommon for water to
squirt up through the holes momentarily, but it drains out almost instantly.
hope this helped
