[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 244916, member: 7544"] My 15' Fisher's original setup was a front deck about 18" deep, 2 pedestal seats and a side console. There was absolutely nothing that tied the 2 sides together. It's a 1977 model and there are no signs of any cracking or flex damage over the years. It has some pretty heavy duty gunrails and there is some added aluminum along the sides for the side panels, which I'm sure give it some added strength. So I think a lot of what you can and can't do will depend on the conditions the boat is subjected to and how the boat is constructed. Like FuzzyGrub said above, there is no simple answer because there are a lot of factors to take into consideration and fatigue is something that may not show up for a long time. [/QUOTE]
