[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 90263, member: 751"] 1) Yes you can remove center benches but it has to be braced very well or the hull will taco. 2)Foam doesn't add floatation.It's there to help keep the boat floating high enough that it can be bailed out if it get swamped.If the weight limit is exceeded the boat will sink reguardless of foam.It's not recommend that the foam be removed.However some of us have removed the foam. 3)Check the mods section.There is alot of info there about build and bracing hulls. 4)The best way is the strongest and lightest,but that's not the cheapest way.Check out the mods section for different ways of doing things.
