OK, here is the deal...I've looked at many outstanding boat modifications on this forum, so I know that there are some very talented guys out there!
I've been daydreaming about perhaps removing the center seat bench on my 14' V-bottom Richline aluminum boat. However, I believe that doing so would weaken the center section of the boat.
Therefor I need some suggestions on how I might reinforce that area but still leave it open so I might end up with a re-do something like this Starcraft with an open center area. with boxed in sides, front & rear decks.
My Richline boat looks identical to the following photo of switchback's boat. I'm too lazy to go out and take a photo of my boat. Only different is that my seats are red! :lol:
I'm thing about removing the 3rd seat from the bow.
Do you think that the boxed in sides like on the Starcraft would provide enough support? Or can anyone think of some support that I could install that would do the job...and not cost an arm and leg?
Any and all suggestions will be appreciated!
