[QUOTE="rickybobbybend, post: 344348, member: 6145"] The center seat provides structural rigidity for the hull. I am sure the seat can be safely removed with addition of appropriate extra bracing. And if you plan ahead, you could remove it in a way that would allow you to reinstall it if it didn't work out. I was more interested in covered storage and retaining the flotation foam contained within the seat. You should check out some of the mods on here in which the center seat was removed. Even if the hull was longer that yours, many of the lessons would apply. I have never been sorry I left the seat in, but I certainly see advantages in removing it. [/QUOTE]
