[QUOTE="rfarrands, post: 133391, member: 2504"] The only places it's fastened to the boat is to the original seat supports. the fore/aft 2x2's you see in this picture were wedged under the side/side 2x2's where they would sit on the aluminum channel pieces, and then screwed to each other, but not to the boat.[ATTACH type="full" alt="3-30 wiping.jpg"]12501._xfImport[/ATTACH] The front hatch area was made in one piece and is secured with just 2 screws to deck and 2 screws to small front seat thing at the bow. I cut the 1/2" plywood tight, and screwed it to framework after carpeting and it is very stable with no creaking or anything. I put one bench back in the front between where the 2 I took out were originally, and I think that was a good move. before I secured it back to gunwales, I used straps to squeeze sides back in to where they were originally. Take measurements of width of boat before you remove the seats, and then use ratchet straps to squeeze it back to where it should be when you are measuring for frame and decking etc. [/QUOTE]
