Wires coming out of bimini cover?

Took our new (used) 2001 Sun Tracker 21 party barge out tonight (was a shit show, no fault of the toon, mostly completely random bad weather) and noticed a couple things I thought might be easy answers here.

I noticed a couple wires going up along the forward-most bimini frame brace. I'm guessing one of them is power to the light up there, but right up in the middle on the underside 2 separate "ports" are poking out. Sorry I don't have pictures, but they both look more like you would plug something into them rather then them plugging into something. I'm inside as I write this, but I'm pretty sure it was on the middle frame piece. I googled around and couldn't find any wire maps or anything that gave me an easy answer. Anyone have thoughts?

Second is what appears to be some sort of mount in the middle of the toon. There are holes front and back (sea terms?!?) for the table peg, and this one is different, it has no extra groves or anything. Just a circle. There was a metal tube under one of the seats that fits in it, but the top doesn't match with the table or the table leg. What is the purpose?

Lastly, there are 2 very small holes in the floor towards the rear with 2 slits that line up in them. They wouldn't fit the cover poles, but they are close to the same size. What would these be for?

Thanks for the help. Buying my first toon used means I'm on my own and at the mercy of Google.... you guys seem much better/easier than Mr. Internet to find answers!

With a 13 year old used boat there is absolutely no telling what the previous owner or owners may have rigged up beyond what the boat came with from new stock....

The wires going up the bimini could be for speakers or extra lighting...

The extra hole in the middle of the boat is likely from another brand and style of seat or table mount (there are several) or it might have been for a support pole to tent up the middle of a weather cover or perhaps even a large umbrella like used on patio tables etc....
