[QUOTE="Bsmith3244, post: 309932, member: 10752"] I began re-structuring the boat for stability. After removing the middle and rear benches, it stability of the boat did worry me some. Became much less structurally sound. So I ran a 2x4 down the side, and tied them into the pre-existing brackets that held the benches. I then screwed the back of the 2x4 into the read bench seat which created a much more rigid and stable boat. I also traced out my bow deck so I can mount my bow mounted trolling motor up there. Up there is THE only place where I screwed into the boat but it is above the water line and I did not screw all the way through the void in the rim but just through the first layer so the screws would catch.
